Alia shared the poster of the film, which announced that the film’s trailer will be launched on Friday, February 4. In the poster, Alia is seen as Gangubai, dressed in white and sitting on a cot. Soni Razdan commented with several hearts and clap emojis on the picture. Fellow actor Huma Qureshi commented “Woohoo” on the picture. Fans also shared their love, with some calling it ‘gazab’ and ‘amazing’.
The film, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is adapted from one of the chapters of author Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai. It features Alia in the role of Gangubai, one of the most powerful madams from Mumbai’s red-light area Kamathipura during the 1960s.
Backed by Bhansali Productions and co-produced by Jayantilal Gada’s Pen India Limited, it also stars Ajay Devgn. The film is set to release theatrically on February 25. The film was earlier slated to release on February 18 but was delayed by a week last Friday.
Alia had shared the delay announcement on social media. “#GangubaiKathiawadi will rise to power in cinemas near you on 25th February 2022,” she wrote. Even prior to this, the movie’s release and production have been delayed multiple times due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Upon the completion of the film’s shoot in June 2021, Alia had shared a long note detailing the hardships they faced while making this movie amid the pandemic. People seem to be full of excitement to finally see her on-screen.
