In the film, Alia will be seen playing the role of a brothel owner. A short clip from the Film Festival was shared by Alia’s fans on social media. Talking about her performance, Bhansali said, “I think she’s become more Gangubai than Alia in real life. Her boyfriend complains about her speak like Gangubai at home. It’s just completely becoming one with the character.” On the other hand, Alia is seen laughing out loud while he speaks about Ranbir. Have a look:

Lately, Alia has been speaking about her relationship with Ranbir. It is being said that the lovebirds are all set to tie the knot in April this year.
Meanwhile, Bhansali was all praise for Alia’s performance in the song ‘Dholida’. He told PTI, “I didn’t know if Alia was such a good dancer, but when she danced in ‘Dholida’… I thought here was an actor who finally transcended… It’s a very gooseflesh moment for me to even talk about it, that you transcend and forget who’s in front of you, what you look like and what you feel. She just became one with that character and expressed all our angst, all the anguish and all that she’d gone through in that one song. It’s a shot that I will take to my grave. I think if there’s any shot that I want to be played when I breathe my last, it will be Alia doing that shot because it is completely the best thing that I’ve seen an actor do in a very, very long time.”
The film is slated to release on February 25. It also stars Ajay Devgn, Shantanu Maheshwari and Vijay Raaz in key roles.
