Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, who had earlier taken a dig at Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' and even called its lead star Alia Batt a
"bimbo", post the film's release has praised it in a veiled manner.

Kangana took to her Instagram handle on Saturday and shared a Story in which she hailed the southern film industry while also praising the "movie mafia", for taking baby steps that are "crucial" for theatrical releases of the films. She wrote, "Happy to hear theatres are being revived in South film industry with record breaking collections. I hear some baby steps are being taken in Hindi belt also. With recent female centric film which has a big hero and a super star director."
