Last month, mid-day had reported that Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia Bhatt were poised to begin work on Gangubai Kathiawadi in the first week of October (Going back to Kamathipura?, September 23). The actor was often spotted outside the filmmaker's office over the past few weeks as they presumably charted the way forward. No sooner did we turn the calendar to October than Bhansali — a stickler for discipline — retraced his steps to Film City and resumed his place behind the camera after almost seven months, ready to tell the gritty story of the protagonist.
A source reveals that the unit had been filming night sequences before work was suspended in March. "To maintain continuity, Sanjay sir picked up the shoot exactly from where he had left it. Since October 1, Alia and the team have been reporting to the set by 7 pm, and the stint goes on till the wee hours of the morning. Although a part of the grand set had been pulled down ahead of the monsoons, the portion resembling Kamathipura had been left untouched. So, the director has been able to shoot without any hiccup," says the source.
