Shantanu Maheshwari on making his debut with 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 25 2022]
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is one of the most celebrated filmmakers of Bollywood and it is a dream for many actors to collaborate with him. However, new comer Shantanu Maheshwari was so lucky that he got to make his debut with a Bhansali film. Apparently, the filmmaker wanted a relatively unknown face to play Alia's love interest in 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' and he zeroed in on Shantanu.
In a recent conversation with a news outlet, Shantanu shared how he felt after being picked for such a huge project. He told India TV, I have never dreamt of making it to his films or to get a chance to work with him. I remember when I got selected for the film, I was in absolute disbelief after Shruti ma'am broke the news to me. I was blank. It was too much to absorb, I was overwhelmed. It's a dream debut.
Talking about his work experience with Alia Bhatt, Shantanu said, She was friendly, approachable and collaborative and it didn’t feel like I am working with Alia Bhatt.
'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is set to hit the theatres on 25th of February.
