After spending her precious time in quarantine, Alia Bhatt has resumed the shoot of her upcoming film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The biographical drama has been the adaptation of Hussain Zaidi's book, 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai'. In the film, Alia will portray the role of Gangubai Kothewali, a fierce brothel owner who was rumored to have had gangsters as her clients. More about the shooting schedules then the film set had been created at Mumbai's Film City.

The shoot has resumed with Alia and crew reporting on the sets at 7 pm, nearly after seven months. An anonymous source told the media publications that Bhansali has been filming night sequences before the lockdown. The source said, `To maintain continuity, Sanjay sir picked up the shoot exactly from where he had left it. Since October 1, Alia and the team have been reporting to the set by 7 pm, and the stint goes on till the wee hours of the morning. Although a part of the grand set had been pulled down ahead of the monsoons, the portion resembling Kamathipura had been left untouched. So, the director has been able to shoot without any hiccup.`
