Gangubai Kathiawadi, starring Alia Bhatt, was released in theatres on Friday, February 25. This is her first collaboration with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film was released in theatres after a lengthy delay due to the pandemic, and the wait was worth it. It is being unanimously praised by audiences across the country. Personalities from the film industry have also been praising the film, and one of them is Alia’s Godfather Karan Johar.
Karan Johar posted a photo of Alia Bhatt as Gangubai with the caption, “To say that she is breathtaking… to say that she is stupendous... to say that she is by far one of the best actors we have or have ever had is not just stating a fact but still not saying enough about her brilliance! Alia Bhatt what are you? Yes, this is unbiased and from my heart! Sanjay Bhansali is a magician and she has performed his every celluloid trick with precision and perfection! #gangubaikathiawadi,”
Not only that, but Karan Johar also praised Sanjay Leela Bhansali and tweeted “Sanjay Bhansali weaves his magic like a bonafide movie maverick and aliaa08 is perfection! Stupendous! Beyond brilliant! And that is still not saying enough! Epic performance! #GangubaiKathiawadi is going to be a massive hit! The movies are back!!!!,”
The Raazi (2018) actress Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar share a great bong. Alia made her acting debut in Karan Johar's Student of the Year (2012), and she considers him to be her mentor.
Next on the work front, Alia Bhatt is currently shooting for Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, co-starring Ranveer Singh.
