'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is a biopic of a sex worker in Mumbai's Kamathipura who was pushed into prostitution at an early age. The film showcases her journey as the head of a brothel and a political leader of Kamathipura. This will be Alia's first project with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The actress was supposed to work with the filmmaker in a film titled 'Inshallah', co-starring Salman Khan. However, the project got shelved.
Alia's next film after 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is 'RRR' for which she has paired with Ram Charan to play Sita. 'RRR' is directed by Rajamouli and stars Jr. NTR, Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, and Olivia Morris in lead roles. 'RRR' is set to release on 18 March if theatres open with 100% occupancy. Otherwise, it will be released on 28 April.
