Actor Shantanu Maheshwari, who plays a tailor in the Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, is over the moon with the kind of response his character is getting.

Shantanu praised filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and called it a "dream come true".

Shantanu says, "Working with the maestro himself was a dream come true and the love and appreciation I am receiving for Afshan is unbelievable. I am overwhelmed and extremely happy. I am looking forward to what's coming next. I can't thank the audience enough for the response."

Based on S Hussain Zaidi and Jane Borges' hard-hitting book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, Gangubai Kathiawadi chronicles Ganga's rise to power and fame from a small-town girl in Gujarat, to the queen of Kamathipura in Mumbai.
