Alia wins over Deepika

Alia Bhatt now not Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first desire for his upcoming film, Gangubai Kathiawadi. He had earmarked the position for his favorite, Deepika Padukone.

However, elements played truant — firstly, Deepika became already playing a gangster in Vishal Bhardwaj's Sapna Didi, a tale authored through Hussain Zaidi (who additionally wrote Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi). A supply tells us that Deepika changed into hesitant about doing lower back-to-returned girl gangster roles.
However, Sapna Didi was given shelved, and even as Deepika might have thankfully returned to the Bhansali territory, she turned into keen on co-generating Gangubai Kathiawadi with Bhansali, our sources inform us.

“But he became now not geared up to do that. They parted amicably over the issue. That’s how Alia got here into the project. But Bhansali can’t stay too some distance away from Deepika’s territory. She might be returned to his cinema along with his next Baiju Bawra,” one among our resources tells us.
