also pre gangu, she wanted block buster like Baahubali in her kitty but post gangu, small role is not what she wants
but professional actors will continue their work irrespective of what their position is currently and not show it
so many times outdated movies release like shahrukh, salman and madhuri's hum tumhare hain sanam after srk became huge
also i am not sure alia's current strategy is great, gangu type roles come once in few years, you have to star opposite male actors in limited roles (that is the way the industry is), except kjo nobody is going to give her roles at the expense of the male actors and she will find limited takers because of this, she is already not a fit for glamorous roles anyway
