Expensive set for ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ to be taken down without use?

An exquisite set was created for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next movie in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ at Film City, Mumbai. However, the set, which was designed for the director’s dream project with Alia Bhatt, will potentially now be demolished due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A source said, “Bhansali and his leading lady Alia Bhatt were hoping (against hope) that the current coronavirus crisis would blow over after some time. But as weeks of a lock-down seem to be turning into months, the fear that Bollywood filmmakers won’t be able to shoot until 2021 is driving one of the world’s most active entertainment industries into a bundle of nerves.”

According to reports, Bhansali and his team were hoping to resume the shoot on the set once the lock-down ended, reports Box Office Worldwide. However, with no end date in sight for the lock-down, as well as monsoon season fast approaching, the set will most likely be taken down imminently.
