Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia Bhatt will be next seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Gangubai Kathiawadi which is expected to release in February this year. She has also played an important role in SS Rajamouli’s RRR alongside Ram Charan and Jr NTR. The film was supposed to be released last week but was postponed due to a sudden rise in the Covid-19 cases.
Several cinema halls were shut down across the country which led to the makers of RRR postponing the release.
Alia will also be seen in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra co-starring Ranbir Kapoor. The film is expected to release on September 9. 2022.
