After making the magnum opus ‘Padmaavat’ to critical acclaim,
Sanjay Leela Bhansali took a well-deserved break. But you can’t keep the indefatigable filmmaker away for too long. Bhansali has been reportedly busy on his next project, which is said to be based on the life of notorious female gangster
Gangubai Kothewali
. In fact, unconfirmed sources even assumed that
Priyanka Chopra had been approached for the ambitious project.
However, Bhansali has maintained a firm silence on the subject on who the leading lady of his film will be since things are still in the writing phase. As of now, only a tentative title has been given and the film is being called ‘
Hira Mandi
’.
Gangubai Kothewali, also known as the Madam of Kamathipura, was said to be running several brothels in Mumbai years ago. Such was her popularity that even today her idols are found across
Kamathipura
and pay tribute to her propensity to protect the women who were forced into the sex trade.
