Till now, there was much speculation surrounding Alia’s film with Sanjay as their earlier collaboration Inshallah, with Salman Khan, was shelved.
Now Alia Bhatt is collaborating for a solo movie with Bhansali. However the netizen are claiming that Sanjay Leela is eyeing Ranbir Kapoor as lead male star in the Gangubai Kathiawadi.
Though Ranbir-Alia are sharing screen space in trilogy Brahmastra.
