Alia Bhatt is all set for the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Gangubai Kathiawadi. As many know, the actress was earlier brought on board for 'Inshallah' with Salman Khan. However, the movie was shelved. In an interview with PTI, Alia admitted that she was heartbroken when Inshallah failed to materialize. She also revealed that she was scared when she was asked to switch to 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'.

According to her, she was meant to do a love story with SLB co-starring Salman Khan. However, it didn't work out. She added that till that point, she hadn't read the book 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai' or known the story of Gangubai.

The actress stated that she didn't expect a film of this nature at all. When she heard the narration, she was very apprehensive about switching to Gangubai Kathiawadi. SLB assured her that she can do it, but she had self-doubt. However, she told herself that there should be no scope of doubt in her head when a film like this comes her way so she put in extra effort to pull off her part.
