On Wednesday, the makers dropped the first teaser of Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi and it set the Internet on fire in absolutely no time.
The audience showered praises on the teaser and the terrific performance from Bhatt. The film has been directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Not only viewers, but several bigwigs from the industry also heaped praises on the teaser and Alia Bhatt’s performance in it.
Taking to Twitter, SS Rajamouli wrote: “Gangubai is as fierce as fierce can get! @aliaa08’s avatar as Gangubai Kathiawadi is very impressive. Looking forward to seeing Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnificent work on the screen.”
The teaser presented Alia in an all-new fire and brimstone avatar. As the madam of a brothel in Kamathipura, Mumbai, she is a queen.
