Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt is awaited by a lot of fans out there as it was supposed to release in 2020.
However, the second wave of coronavirus pandemic hit the country when three days of filming were remaining but sadly the shooting had to stop.
A source told Bollywood Hungama “Gangubai Kathiawadi needs only three more shooting days. It’s part of a background song filmed on Alia Bhatt—she has no lip-sync songs in this film—which is almost complete. Bhansali was on the verge of completing it when shooting was called off.”
The source adds that the makers of the film will have a lavish set at Film City until the remaining shooting is done. The source said, “It’s costing the co-producers Bhansali and Jayantilal Gada close to 3 lakh rupees per day to keep the set from being demolished. This works out less uneconomical than re-constructing the set when shooting resumes.”
On asked when the producers of the film Gangubai Kathiawadi expect to resume and complete the remaining song, the source said, “Not anytime soon. Even if the lockdown ends Bhansali has decided to take no risks by resuming the shoot immediately. He won’t complete that remaining 3-day shooting until the second wave of the Covid declines.”
