Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is awaiting the release of her film Gangubai Kathiawadi which is based on the life of a sex worker who goes by the same name. Alia Bhatt plays the titular role, of the woman who went on to become one of the most influential and respected madams from the Kamathipura area in Mumbai. This was back in the 1960s when, Kathiawadi became a prominent figure in the red light area. It will be released on July 30 this year.

The film has been directed by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and is based on Hussain Zaidi's book Mafia Queens of Mumbai. 

However, the film had been dragged into an ongoing legal battle after Gangubai’s adopted son Babuji Rawji Shah filed a defamation case against the film. He said that the film is 'tarnishing his mother's image.'
