Many actors from our telly industry are headed towards the big screen of Bollywood including Hina Khan, Ankita Lokhande, and many more. Now actor Shantanu Maheshwari too is headed towards the tinsel town and we couldn’t be happier.
This Dil Dosti Dance actor is said to be roped in for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming directorial, Gangubai Kathiawadi. The film, which went on floors recently, has Alia playing the role of Kamathipura’s famous brothel Madam Gangubai. She plays the woman of power what Madam Gangubai was and how she was worshipped in the area.
Now, according to a report in a leading entertainment portal, Shantanu has been finalized to play a prominent part in the dark biography. A source told the portal, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali was looking for a fresh face who would carry that innocence but still be convincing in a dark role. The team had auditioned Shantanu and loved his tape. SLB was also impressed by his performance and he has now officially signed on to play one of the lead roles opposite Alia in the film. He plays the role of Afsan in Gangubai and will kickstart the shoot soon in Mumbai.”
