Last month, in an interview with PTI, Alia revealed how she prepped to play the titular role in the film. She said, "He (Sanjay) wanted me to watch Meena Kumari’s work a lot, her expressions... the way she would sing a song, although I am not going all out singing songs in the movie. There is a certain sadness in her eyes, but there is a power to her face. He would say, 'See her face, which is so full'... I also watched Mandi,"

“Being an actor is one thing and being a heroine is another. I have been referred to watch these films and whenever I do, I only have admiration, whether it is for Waheeda Rehman Ji, Shabana Azmi ji, Madhubala ji... The way they would do these long shots gives you goosebumps. Somehow, we have lost that charm of presenting a heroine like that, that old-world charm,” Alia added.

Gangubai Kathiawadi stars Alia as a girl sold into sex work. She soon takes over Kamathipura as its leader and matriarch. The film also stars Vijay Raaz and Ajay Devgn.
