After three months of intermittent shoots, Alia Bhatt has finally completed the talkie portions of Gangubai Kathiawadi. However, her on-screen journey as the madam of Kamathipura brothels is far from over. Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for mounting grand dance numbers like Dola re dola (Devdas, 2002), Pinga (Bajirao Mastani, 2015) and Ghoomar (Padmaavat, 2018), has saved the best for the last. Come third week of February, the director will film two songs with his leading lady before calling it a wrap on the project.

“Alia has been given a fortnight’s break; she is utilising the time to rehearse for the two tracks. One of them is a typical Bhansali number, envisioned on a lavish scale, complete with 200 background dancers,” reveals a source. The tracks will be picturised on the set, a replica of Kamathipura, which was built at Film City in Goregaon for the movie. The source adds, “The unit had filmed a song last year before the lockdown was imposed. On resuming work in October, Sanjay sir decided to finish the sequences before he could turn his attention to the song-and-dance routines.”
