Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Gangubai Kathiawadi has landed in problems when once more. Maharashtra Congress MLA Amin Patel has demanded a transform in the title of this Alia Bhatt starrer. Patel claimed that the tile Gangubai Kathiawadi maligns the name of the Kathiawad city.
Patel, who represents the Mumbadevi constituency in South Mumbai, stated in the state assembly that the Kamathipura region has undergone adjustments. So now he desires Gangubai Kathiawadi’s title to be changed.
According to PTI, the MLA stated, “It is not the same as it was in 1950s.” Women there are excelling in unique professions. The film’s title also maligns the name of Kathiawad city. The name of the film really should be changed. “

Earlier, the residents of Kamathipura had also raised objection against the trailer of the film. They did not like the way Kamathipura was portrayed as a red light area in Mumbai. As per Republic TV, the official statement by the residents read, “The New Alia Bhatt Starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is a blatant misrepresentation and an attempt to malign the 200 years of the actual history of Kamathipura. It is defamatory, shameful, and has hurt the sentiments of the residents of Kamathipura. The residents have worked hard to erase the social stigma attached to the name of Kamathipura, and this movie is extremely damaging to the current and future generations of Kamathipura. “
Gangubai Kathiawadi is slated to release on 30 July this year.
