'THR Presents' Q&A with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who discusses his latest film, a partial adaptation of 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai' titled 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' - presented by bhansali_produc
“I didn’t know that she existed,” Bhansali says. “I lived one lane away from the brothels of Mumbai where this film is based, but I had no idea that the woman called Gangubai actually existed. When I read the story, it was quite a revelation to me. I said, ‘Oh my god, this is a fantastic character.’ It’s a very pure character. It’s a character that I enjoyed reading, because she was funny, she was witty, she was a fighter. She knew how to handle the dark moments.
Bhansali found little details in the book he could expand into major plot points, and even invented storylines he wanted to see the character go through: “There are so many such moments that we’ve added where there is a sense of poignancy to the character, there’s a sense of joy to it. There’s a sense of now finding the strength to get up and fight. ‘I’ll face it all.’ There are many sad scenes that are horrible. The entire romance with Afsaan is a very [small] detail in the book.
