Alia Bhatt is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Gangubai Kathiawadi directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film has had a long wait owing to the delays caused by the pandemic. Even before its release, the film has faced several criticisms, especially regarding casting and one among them was from actress Kangana Ranaut. Recently, during a promotional event in Kolkata, Alia reacted to the strong criticism by Kangana with a quote from the Bhagavad Gita.

Alia Bhatt was recently in Kolkata to launch the song ‘Meri Jaan’ from the film which also features debutante Shantanu Maheshwari. Replying to Kangana's remark, Alia reportedly said, "Lord Krishna had said in the Gita that inaction is an action. That's all I want to say."

Meanwhile, a few days back, Kangana took to her Instagram stories and wrote, "This Friday 200cr will be burnt to ashes at the box office ... for a papa (movie mafia daddy) ki pari (who likes to keep a British passport) because papa wants to prove that romcom bimbo can act... biggest drawback of the film is wrong casting...yeh nahi sudhrenge (these people won't change) no wonder screens are going to South and Hollywood films ... Bollywood is destined for doom jab tak movie mafia has power."

In the past, Kangana has publicly attacked Alia by using terms like mediocre, member of nepo-gang, and more while referring to her. Alia, on the other hand, has refrained from reacting to the comments.

Meanwhile, Gangubai Kathiawadi documents the rise of its eponymous sex worker to one of the most powerful madams of the infamous Mumbai red-light district, Kamathipura. Produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Dr. Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios), the film is all set to release theatrically on 25th February 2022. The film marks the debut of Shantanu Maheshwari and also stars Ajay Devgn in a special appearance.
