Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next magnum opus - Gangubai Kathiawadi - starring Alia Bhatt will have several interesting cameos. There are as many as three roles for which Bhansali needed three actors and while he has locked two of them already, he's yet to decide for the third.

A source tells us, "He had locked Ajay Devgn to play the role of a gangster whereas for the second guest appearance, he had approached three actors - Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan but all of them turned it down. Now, they have locked Shantanu Maheshwari for that part. But for the third cameo, which requires a top A-list actress, the search is still on."

Talks are on with two heroines already. The source adds, "Bhansali has been in discussions with both Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone for the part. It's actually not a role but just a dance number. Katrina had almost been locked for the part, but now the team is toying with the idea of going ahead with DP. They will take a call once the lockdown is over and things start getting back to normal. It's a beautiful song that will be shot on a lavish set and will be one of the biggest highlights of the movie. Once the shoot begins, the team will lock the dates and shoot the song over a period of three to four days."

DP although I’m not sure Dippy has the time for it since she’s lined up for movies with prabhas Hrithik Siddhant Chaturvedi big b and Pathan with SRK. Boy that’s a big schedule. I wonder where Sonam and all her posies are now not even on the scene? After taunting DP with so much jealousy..

I do not get it, Katrina is not a dancer neither she is an actor and where is the comparison???? Kat has a face like a horse. If it was not for Salmam n her affair with Ranbir she would have been a third class fluke actress

Kjo can influence SLB is a joke . But let’s accept this . Alia even though is a nepo product is a great actress. Deepika is good but not as flexible as alia in acting and kat can only move her body well . Let kat get the opportunity she needs it badly as Deepika will produce her films and get movies whereas kat wil be afraid produce her own films lol owing to the kind of acting she does.

Lol, is he crazy? After making Alia look like a fool with Madhuri, now they want to have an actress twice as beautiful as her do a song now? Make no mistake KJO, you can give Alia all the juiciest movies, but notice that the only time she gets any praise is in movies like Highway or Raazi, when there is A) no other famous people to compete with, and B) a role that requires no glamour or elegance to it.
