Bollywood Director and producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali took his much-awaited project Gangubai Kathiawadi on the floors in 2019. This was almost complete when the nationwide lockdown was imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the restrictions were eased, the shooting of the film was resumed, however, it came to a halt again after Bhansali tested positive for Covid. A few days later, the lead actress of the upcoming film Alia Bhatt also contracted the virus. By the time they both recovered, another curfew was announced due to the second wave. Finally, two weeks ago the team called a wrap on the film.
Now, as per the latest buzz, filmmaker Gangubai Kathiawadi is ready to wait as long as it takes to release it in theatres. Unlike many filmmakers who have released their films on OTT platforms in the past, Bhansali is clear that his new film is only for the big screen.
A source close to the project told entertainment portal Spotboye that Bhansali feels Gangubai Kathiawadi is his biggest film till date in terms of visual size and emotion, and hence “can’t be transferred” to a digital platform.
Questions are being raised continuously on when the corona virus will be completely controlled and no one has a specific answer to this, but Bhansali does not care about it. He believes Gangubai Kathiawadi will be seen on the big screen, and is ready to wait “no matter how long it takes” if the pandemic persists and restrictions are not eased.
Bhansali is also working on a project for the OTT world. The web series Heera Mandi is in the early stages of its production and will reportedly premiere on streaming giant Netflix. As per some reports, Kartik Aaryan and Sonakshi Sinha will be in the lead role in the digital show.
