Gangubai Kathiawadi is based on the life of a sex worker in Mumbai's Kamathipura, who was pushed into prostitution at an early age. The sex worker later becomes the head of a brothel and a political leader of Kamathipura.

After completing the shoot of the film, Alia Bhatt had written a gratitude note and had shared BTS from the film. She had started her note as "We started shooting Gangubai on the 8th of December 2019 .. and we wrapped the film now 2 years later! This film and set has been through two lockdowns.. two cyclones.. director and actor getting covid during the making!!! the troubles the set has faced is another film all together!"

Alia had later thanked Sanjay Leela Bhansali in her note and had written, "Being directed by sir has been a dream all my life, but I don't think anything would have prepared me for the journey I was on for these two years.. I walk out of this set a diff person today! I love you sir! Thank you for being you .. there is truly NO ONE like you."
