New Delhi:

Alia Bhatt is enjoying the success of her last release Gangubai Kathiawadi, which was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Recently, Alia interviewed Sanjay Leela Bhansali and he answered some of the most requested questions and also praised the Raazi actress. While interacting with Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, "This film matters to Indian cinema because here was a performance that I think will be celebrated for the next 50-100 years. It could be at par with Nargis Ji in Mother India, at par with Seema Biswas in Bandit Queen, Meena Kumari in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. This is the fourth performance I would talk of in the same league. So, this film mattered. Here is a girl who is taking a whole film on her shoulder."
