Aditya Narayan Reveals Rani Mukerji Was First Choice for Gangubai Kathiawadi Before Alia Bhatt

The film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi,' featuring Alia Bhatt, was a major success in 2022. The film, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was praised by everyone. Alia's performance was also very well received. However, it has come to light that Alia wasn't the first choice for the role.

Reports from that time suggest that the filmmakers wanted to cast Rani Mukerji before Alia Bhatt in the film. Aditya Narayan, who was an assistant director to Bhansali, has validated this and made it clear that Rani Mukerji was indeed the initial choice for 'Gangubai Kathiawadi.' He made this disclosure during a TV event.
