Fans couldn’t be more excited to see Alia as an SLB heroine.
In fact, when Sanjay Leela Bhansali offered Gangubai Kathiawadi to Alia Bhatt, here’s how she REACTED –
“The first time she heard the narration, she took her bag and ran out of my office. She was wondering what on earth hit her and what kind of role I have offered to her. She just ran away,” SLB told Zoom.
The director saw her hesitation and was almost on the verge of looking for another actor for the part. But then Alia came onboard trusting his vision and he told her to take a leap of faith- “I said jump into the unknown, even I don’t know what I will do.”
