'Gangubai Kathiawadi': Alia Bhatt to film grand dance numbers in mid-February?

Actress Alia Bhatt, who is currently shooting for Leela Bhansali's directorial film Gangubai Kathiawadi, is set to film two dance numbers. The shooting of the film kicked off in December 2019 but the production was halted due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the 2 States actress has completed the talkie portions of the shoot after filming for the last three months. Now it's been reported that the actress will be shooting the dance sequences this week.

The entertainment portal revealed that both the dance numbers will be filmed on a grand scale. The makers of the film have given her a two-week break where she will rehearse for the song. Reportedly, in one of the dance numbers, the actress will be seen grooving with 200 background dancers. It will be filmed at Film City in Mumbai where the Kamathipura set had been replicated. Last year Alia had shot for another dance number, but the ace director insisted that the entire team should finish all the vital and crucial parts of the film before filming the dance sequence.

Meanwhile, the actress who is giving her best to shoot the film while working day and night was earlier admitted to the hospital due to exertion. A source close to the film told the portal that the actress who resumed the shooting last week after a long break in December last year was admitted to the hospital so that she can regain some strength. Alia Bhatt suffered from exertion and exhaustion and she was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai. She was discharged on the very same day. The source further said that the Kalank actress is very professional and wants to complete her commitments. The actress returned to the sets of Gangubai Kathiwadi on January 18, 2021.

The story of the film Gangubai Kathiawadi revolves around Gangubai who is remembered as The Madam of Kamathipura in the pages of history. She was pushed into prostitution at an early age and later became extremely important as her clients belong to the underworld. Reportedly, the makers of the film are planning to release the film during Diwali 2021.
