Last week, it was reported that Sanjay Leela Bhansali had tested positive for Covid-19, resulting which the shoot of Gangubai Kathiawadi had been put on hold. Soon after, the film’s leading lady Alia Bhatt too had taken the test and fortunately tested negative. She even shared a note later which read, “I've been reading all your messages of concern and care. I have tested negative for COVID 19 and after isolating and speaking with my doctor, I am back to work today. Thank you for all your good wishes! I'm taking care & staying safe. You please do the same. Love to you all. #DoGazKiDoori #MaskHaiZaroori”. 

Pinkvilla now has a new update on the film. We have learnt that the makers plan to resume shooting for the film by this month-end. “If all goes as planned, then Mr Bhansali and Alia are targeting to resume shooting for Gangubai Kathiawadi by this month-end. The remaining portions with Ajay Devgn will be shot later once fresh dates are alloted by the actor,” informs a source close to the development. Last week, Ranbir Kapoor and Manoj Bajpayee were also tested positive for Covid-19. 

Meanwhile, Gangubai Kathiawadi’s teaser had been unveiled on SLB’s birthday last month and had received rave reviews from all quarters.
