Alia Bhatt's 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is the most talked about upcoming film of Bollywood and since this is her first project with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the actress herself is also super excited about it. The trailer of the film was released a while ago and Alia has managed to impress the audience with her intense yet restrained performance in it. However, in a recent media interaction, she shared that playing Gangubai was emotionally draining for her.

Alia told IANS, "One of the things that maybe you’ll also get to see in the trailer that there is a constant anger in her eyes so that comes with what happened to her and the situation she was put in. I remember whenever we used to play out scenes and there would always be that layer sir would ask me to bring in the character and maybe I didn’t understand it while I was doing it and bringing it I was understanding it but when I saw the film in a flow I understood what he was trying to do and that is something … that all adds up.”

She continued, "That was one of her biggest sensitive points that what happened to her was not fair and which world she had to enter is not fair but the beauty is what she does with that anger… She has it in her body and soul but how she turns it around." Alia concluded by saying, "She is sunshine but there is sadness in her that is emotionally draining…to that to do what she did…"

Apart from Alia, 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' also stars actors like Ajay Devgan, Jim Sarbh, Vijay Raaz among others and it is going to release on 25th of February.
