Ever since the makers dropped the theatrical trailer of Gangubai Kathiawadi on Friday, film enthusiasts have been going gaga over the way Alia Bhatt has performed in the film. The trailer set the internet on fire minutes after it was released on YouTube. It has been receiving loads of appreciation from various quarters, with everyone praising Bhatt for sliding into the skin of Gangubai.

After the trailer launch, a leading publication got in touch with Bhatt’s father, acclaimed filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt for his reaction to the trailer. Praising his daughter, he said, “Remain what you are. Don’t try to be different from what you are, even for a moment. Only then you will begin to share your ‘fragrance’. Your need to be accepted by the world makes you give in. A flower does not preach. A weed does not want to be a rose. It does not care if you do not praise it or even crush it. The model is the problem.”

He added, “According to me, Alia stands out as Gangubai because she has not moulded herself to a model.”

Directed by Sanjay Leela BhansaliGangubai Kathiawadi is based on the life of a sex worker who went all out in her fight for the rights of other sex workers and underprivileged women in the red-light district of Kamathipura in Mumbai. Superstar Ajay Devgn will also be seen in an important cameo in the film.

Gangubai Kathiawadi is set to enter cinemas on February, 25.
