I Felt I Am Part Of This Massive Project: Shantanu Maheshwari Opens Up Working With Alia Bhatt

Shantanu Maheshwari speaks on working with Alia Bhatt in Gangubhai Kathiawadi.

Shantanu Maheshwari who has been known as a whirlwind dancer and actor, has made his firm footing in Bollywood with his entry movie Gangubhai Kathiawadi. Shantanu’s work in the recent Sanjay Leela Bhansali film has been giving him great reviews.

A report on indianexpress.com talked about how Shantanu exclaimed this as a big opportunity for him. We take reference from that story for our write up here.

Tell him that the film was a woman oriented one and he says, “From the very beginning, I knew it was an Alia Bhatt film. I knew it was a female-oriented movie. It is about a woman’s journey. However, I also knew that I have an important part in the film. How she sacrifices her love for the bigger goal marks an important chapter in her journey. I had complete belief in myself. And let me tell you, I was clapping loudly during Ajay Devgn’s entry scene. He is a star for a good reason.”

“It was quite a simple meeting at the office, where she came in and we exchanged greetings. It wasn’t like when she entered, everyone stood up in attention (laughs). Also, she knew about me playing the part and it was all very organic for us. We actually never had to break the ice,” he adds.

That’s a nice thought!! Speaks volumes of his confidence!!
