First look of Alia Bhatt as Gangubai Kathiawadi in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next is out and the actress looks convincing. Two looks from the film were shared on social media on Wednesday by Alia. She captioned the pictures as, “Here she is, Gangubai Kathiawadi #SanjayLeelaBhansali…” In the first picture, Alia looks like a young Gangubai wherein she is wearing a blue blouse and a red skirt with plaited hair. In the second picture, the actress nails the mafia queen look with kohl eyes, red bindi, choker necklace and nose pin.

Gangubai Kothewali used to run a brothel in Kamathipura (Mumbai) and was a powerful woman in the 60s. She was also famous for being a drug peddler.

It will be interesting to see how Alia will pull off this role. But, going by her first look, we are assuming she would do complete justice to the character.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
