Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia Bhatt were all set to collaborate for Inshallah, also starring Salman Khan, which was all set to release on EID 2020. However, due to some unknown reasons, the film was shelved and Bhansali decided to make another film with the actress. All the speculations have been put to rest as the duo are collaborating for a film called Gangubai Kathiawadi. Take a look at Taran Adarsh's tweet:

For the uninitiated, the film will be high on drama and intensity and will narrate the tale of the eponymous character's journey from the streets of Mumbai to the city's most dreaded woman. It will highlight how and when she became the most fierce and ferocious sex worker of Mumbai's red-light area, Kamathipura. The film was earlier titled Heera Mandi and was being made with Priyanka Chopra, but things didn't work out.
