is Gangubai Kathiawadi SLB's pity project?

After hearing about Baiju Bawra, it seems like Gangubai was planned last minute for AB after inshallah got shelved. Is it normal for a director to direct and release two big films in a year?

thanks for that, was not aware.

This seems like an ego trip.... Maybe Salman questioned his casting Alia in Inshallah, there was an article about Salman wanting Katrina instead. Maybe he questioned Alia's talent and SLB took it as a question on his eye for talent.

But in all this, PC and the movie lost out. I genuinely feel PC was apt for the role. Maybe SLB will cast PC in Baiju bawra but the gangubai movie won't be the same without PC.
