Mumbai: Alia Bhatt is set to headline Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi and the film will release on September 11, 2020.
According to the makers, Bhansali will co-produce the film with Jayantilal Gada's Pen India Limited.
The announcement comes a month after Alia said she would be working with the celebrated filmmaker "very soon".
Directed by Bhansali, In-shaa-allah, starring Alia and Salman Khan, could not come to fruition as the project was shelved in August.
The movie, which was a co-production between Salman and Bhansali's banners, would have marked the director-actor duo's first collaboration in two decades where Salman was supposed to play the lead.
