On Friday, the 2 States actor shared a picture while gazing at the moon and added a Saawariya song 'Dekho Chand Aaya' while announcing the new release date of Gangubai Kathiawadi. "Dekho chand aaya … chand nazar aaya. Gangu bhi aa rahi hain .. 25th February Ko,” she wrote alongside the picture. 

Earlier in the day, makers had released a statement while announcing the new release date after several delays. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial film is now slated to release theatrically on February 25, 2022. The film starring Alia Bhatt in the lead was earlier slated to release theatrically on January 6, 2022, after it was locking horns with SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR. Later, the makers averted the clash and announced the new release date as of February 18. Now, finally, the makers have come up with a new release date and the film will release on February 25. 

Gangubai Kathiawadi is a biographical crime drama set in the 1960s, which revolves around the life of a girl named Gangubai (played by Alia Bhatt) from Kathiawad, who became one of the most powerful women from Kamathipura. The film also stars Vijay Raaz, Indira Tiwari, Seema Pahwa, and has Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi in extended cameos. It also marks the Bollywood debut of TV actor-dancer Shantanu Maheshwari.
