Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Rs. 6 crore set for Gangubai Kathiawadi to be demolished?

Every set, no matter how lavish and elaborate, comes with an expiry date. So it is with a heavy heart that we must report that the fabulous set built by Sanjay Leela Bhansali at Film City for Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi would soon have to be dismantled.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Rs. 6 crore set for Gangubai Kathiawadi to be demolished?

Sources say, “Bhansali and his leading lady Alia Bhatt were hoping (against hope) that the current coronavirus crisis would blow over after some time. But as weeks of a lockdown seem to be turning into months, the fear that Bollywood filmmakers won’t be able to shoot until 2021 is driving one of the world’s most active entertainment industries into a bundle of nerves.”

Says a source in the know, “Bhansali’s set is one of the biggest most detailed and expensive set ever created for a film. He was hoping to return to it after the lockdown. But soon the monsoon will set in. Before that, the set would have to be taken down.”

With no certainty of when the shooting would resume. Sad.

Hugh Jackman reveals his famous feud with Ryan Reynolds began because of Scarlett Johansson

Revealing to Daily Beast, Hugh Jackman said that his years-long feud with Ryan began due to Scarlett Johansson. “How did it start? It’s gone back so long now… God, this is a classic sign where your feud has gone too long, where you don’t even know why or how it started!” Hugh said.

The Wolverine actor further revealed, “I met him back on Wolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett [Johansson], and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, pal, because I’m watching, and we started ribbing each other that way, and then it all escalated with the Deadpool thing and him calling me out and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted.”

For years, they have been trolling each other on social media and fans absolutely love it.
