Alia Bhatt and Shantanu Maheshwari starrer ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ has finally arrived on Netflix much to the delight of cinemagoers. ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ released in theatres on February 25 and introduced the talented actor, Shantanu, who’s seen essaying the role of Afshan, smitten by Kamathipura’s madame, Gangubai.
Impressing the audience with a power-packed Bollywood debut, Shantanu has positioned himself as an amazing actor. His introduction to the celluloid was hailed as flawless and promising by the trade pundits and audience. His arrival on OTT is a treat for those, who’ve missed catching his spark in theatres.
Shantanu Maheshwari said, “I am really grateful for all the love that the audience has showered on me. I couldn’t have asked for a better debut. ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’s arrival on OTT is yet a powerful reminder of how surreal this film’s experience has been for me. I am grateful to Sanjay Leela Bhansali sir who offered me the role of Afshan. I am thrilled to see the reaction of the digital audience.”
The actor rose to fame with ‘Dil Dosti Dance’ (2011) TV series and he followed it up with ‘ MTV Girls On Top’ (2016), ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ (2016), ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 8’ (2017) and ‘India’s Best Dramebaaz’ (2018) reality shows. With ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, he took his biggest jump.
