In an exclusive conversation with SpotBoyE, sources working close to the movie cleared up the rumours that have been doing the rounds for a while now. Alia Bhatt, who was suspected to be performing on two dance numbers, will not be seen doing any, but the sources also mention that the movie is not a song-less one.

Sources told the outlet that the movie is not like SLB’s Black, with no music at all, but nor is it as musical as his movies Devdas or Sawariya. Bhansali has composed some songs for Gangubai Kathiyawadi, but they are moody tunes to play in the background. The outlet also learned that the movie is to have a total of one dance number which will be performed by actor Huma Qureshi.

Talking about Alia Bhatt, the sources say that she plays a dreaded criminal and seldom has space to dance, in the movie. They also revealed that Alia will feature in a romantic number, close to the start of the film opposite her on-screen love interest, who is portrayed by TV actor Shantanu Maheshwari. Gangubai will be seen eloping with him as a teenager, although he will be seen betraying her.
