Alia Bhatt dropped the ‘first look’ of her upcoming movie ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ on social media on Wednesday.
The versatile actress is set to play a ‘mafia queen’ in the movie—and the posters, in which Bhatt can be seen gazing intensely, seem to completely justify her fierce role. The movie is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and is being produced by Bhansali and Jayantilal Gada.
The look, as shared by Alia on Instagram is a black-and-white close-up of her face, enhaanced with a red bindi, a nose ring and dark-kohled eyes. Alia looks intense in the image.
The actress captioned the picture: "Here she is, Gangubai Kathiawadi."
