The stars posing together
Fans reshared the photo on social media, with many commenting on how much skill was on exhibit. “Can he simply cast them together,” a fan demanded, urging that the director bring the three actors on a film together. Others recommended that Sanjay Leela Bhansali cast the three in Heera Mandi, his forthcoming passion movie. A fan who shared the photo tweeted, “Dream cast of Heeramandi.”
The director’s next Netflix project, Heera Mandi, is set in Lahore’s red-light district.
Gangubai Kathiawadi opened to positive reviews last Friday, with critics applauding the film’s scope, directing, and performances, especially Alia Bhatt’s. Alia plays a character in the film who is based on real-life sex worker Gangubai, who grew to become a mafia queen in Mumbai. Ajay Devgn, Shantanu Maheshwari, Seema Pahwa, Vijay Raaz, and Jim Sarbh also star in the film, which is based on Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai.
The picture had a strong opening weekend, making 39 crores on Sunday before adding another 8 crores on Monday. It was a fantastic Monday hold, according to trade analysts, and the film is expected to have a nice week ahead.
