Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming drama Gangubai Kathiawadi, starring Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, will have its world première at the 72nd edition of the Berlin International Film Festival in February.

For Bhansali, who celebrates 25 years in cinema, with his 10th film, it's a special moment. He said, "The story of Gangubai Kathiawadi has been close to my heart. My team and I have given it our all to make this dream possible. We take pride and honour in showcasing our film at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival."

Artistic Director, Berlin International Film Festival, Carlo Chatrian said, "We are happy to continue the tradition of the festival being a special setting for Indian movies - this time with a film with a subject that is socially relevant, not only in India. We were taken by the story of Gangubai, an exceptional woman dragged into exceptional circumstances."
