Earlier this month, there were reports that Jim Sarbh has joined the cast of Gangubai Kathiawadi as a journalist; clearly, the film is getting bigger by the day.
Koimoi has now given another big update of this periodic drama that Huma Qureshi will be making a special appearance in the film.
Huma Qureshi has entered the movie at an important juncture and will begin shooting tomorrow. A source says “Huma will appear in a Qawwali dance sequence and has been preparing for her scenes for a while now. An interesting set has been erected for this sequence, which will be shot over a period of 4 to 5 days. Huma and Sanjay are quite excited about this special number.”
Although it is unsure if Alia Bhatt will be seen in these sequences as she began shooting on September 24 and will wrap up her shooting in January.
Gangubai Kathiawadi is based on a chapter from acclaimed author Hussain Zaidi’s book, Mafia Queens of Mumbai.
Speaking about this, Hussain Zaidi said, “You know, this is the problem, people form their decisions with the very first look itself. Whoever has read Gangubai Kathiawadi’s story in Mafia Queens Of Mumbai, knows that her journey begins when she was 17 till she turned 70. So this is not the only look you will see Alia will be donning. There will be various shades in her personality. So that first look was from Gangubai’s early days and was released just for the sake of a poster. Based on that, people cannot decide and form conclusions.”
Huma will next be seen alongside Akshay Kumar in Bell Bottom.
