Sanjay Leela Bhansali & Alia Bhatt In Berlin For Today’s Screening

In a  hark-back to  the  glorious  day  when Sanjay Leela Bhansali  and Aishwarya Rai were at   the Cannes  Film Festival  for the screening  of Devdas in  2002, the epic director is now at the Berlin Film Festival  with his new film Gangubai Kathiawadi and his  heroine  Alia Bhatt .

The film will be shown in the  prestigious  Berlinale Special Galas section  today  February 16. It will then be released  worldwide on February 25.

 Bhansali is hopeful that the pandemic  would now  subside  and  allow  the movie  business to get back normal. “We are very hopeful. The  losses faced by this industry, and  why only this  industry, but humanity at  large, is immeasurable. We  need  to get  back on our feet. I am hoping that  my film will  contribute to the  revival  of the movie business. Gangubai  Kathiawadi is designed for the  big screen.”

About  the prized trip to  Berlin Sanjay says, “The Berlin Film Festival is very prestigious. That our Gangubai is  invited to Berlin  is  a  matter of  great  joy and pride for us.”
