The coronavirus outbreak has affected Bollywood tremendously as film shoots and major events have been called off amid lockdown. And well, seems like the latest one to face the brunt is none other than Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming project, Gangubai Kathiawadi which stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role. According to the report, the flick's brothel-based set which is constructed in Film City, Mumbai to depict Kamithipura of the 1960s is set to be destroyed for being unused for weeks now. Ofcourse the reason behind the same is the current scenario in the city where coronavirus cases are in no mood to slow down.

As reported by Mid-day, a close source informed the portal.“In March, Bhansali had cleared the payment for the set maintenance. Even when the shutdown was announced, the team had assumed it would delay the schedule only by a month or so. However, with the situation in Mumbai looking grim, it is unlikely that the shoots will resume soon."

“After a round of number-crunching, it was seen that recreating the set would probably be a cheaper alternative than keeping it standing in these uncertain circumstances, as the latter entails the daily rent that has to be paid to Film City. So, the team has decided to have the set razed to the ground." When quizzed if shooting in real locations is a possibility, the source added, "The final call will be taken post the lockdown,” the source added.
Well, speaking of the news, there has been no official confirmation from the filmmaker or the actress yet. Based on one of the chapters from Hussain Zaidi's book titled as Mafia Queens of Mumbai, Gangubai Kathiawadi is slated to hit the big screens in September 2020. But as per the situation seems like the release date might get pushed further. Stay tuned!
