Gangubai Kathiawari


The result of anger is Gangubai Kathiawari


The story of Gangubai Kathiawari has-been in Sanjay Leela Bhansali mind since time of Hum Dil De Chake Sanam But as a director he was not ready for this film but was living with the story.

During this time he made many films like Black Gazarish Sanuria but those films could-not climb the ladder of success.


In such a situation Sanjay Leela Bhansali turned to historical films & made films like Baji Rao Mastani & Padmavat which were well received by the audience.


After Padmavat  Sanjay Leela Bhansali was ready to make a film with famous actor Salman Khan called Insha Allah.The grand set of the film was also made but before the shooting news of a tug of war between Sanjay Leela Bhansali & Salman Khan came & the film could not be made. Sanjay Leela Bhansali said that when Insha Allah was not made he got very angry.


They began to wonder why. It had tobe shut down after making a spectacular set after Padmavati. He remained angry for about a week. Then Sanjay Leela Bhansali started working on the script of Gangubai Kathiawari.


He had met actress Alia Bhatt during In sha Allah. Later Sanjay Leela Bhansali offered Alia the role of Gangubai Kathiawari.


Alia Bhatt was hesitant at first but later she agreed. Gangubai shooting started a month & a half after Insha Allah closed. Beautiful set beautiful costumes made. Sanjay Leela Bhansali thinks that in this way he made the best use of his anger 


In sha Allah why not?


In his early days Sanjay Leela Bhansali made 2 films with superstar Salman Khan Khamoshi & Hum Dil De Chake Sanam

After that  relationship between Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali became strained. After almost 2 decades the duo of director & actor was to return to the film Insha Allah but the shooting of  film was stopped before it started.


When Sanjay Leela Bhansali was asked  reason he said If the matter could not be settled what should we talk about?


He further says that Baji Rao Mastani was not made when Salman Aishwarya Kareena  if there is no luck in  film then it was not made then. Destiny it was Gangubai Kathiawari soul that said Make it I did not understand how I got on after the movie was over Mehboob had made a set in  studio Alia had done dance rehearsals on the song. Lighting was done then it came out of my mouth that stop I should not do this.


Sanjay Leela Bhansali believes that what is written in destiny happens. Just as Ranveer & Deepika were destined for Baji Rao Mastani they were both in school when they announced the film.

Gangu Bai Kathiawari Ramnik & nude scenes in the film

Sanjay Leela Bhansali who has taken  audience to a different world through his films has taken the story of Gangubai Kathiawari from author Hussain Zaidi book Mafia Queen She has made major changes in the story of Gangubai Kathiawari & her cheating husband Ramnik from the book.


Commenting on change Sanjay Leela Bhansali says: I didn't want to waste time in  relationship between Ramnik and Gangubai Kathiawari. I didn't want to show her name marriage intimacy rap scene. I donot want to upset the audience by showing all this. I did not want to disturb Gangubai soul again and I did not want to show nudity. Thats why Raminak was portrayed as a deceitful lover.
