New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court on Wednesday suggested that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali should change the name of his film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', just two days ahead of its scheduled release.

The top court made the suggestion as there are several cases pending hearing in the court seeking a halt in the release of the film. 
The hearing in the Supreme Court will continue on Thursday and according to reports, Bhansali's lawyer said he would seek instructions from the filmmaker by the time.
If the filmmaker agrees to change the title, it will be Bhansali's latest film to do so. Earlier he had to change the tiles of his films including 'Goliyon Ka Raasleela Ram-Leela' and 'Padmaavat'.
Several cases have been filed in various courts seeking a halt in the release of his latest film starring Alia Bhatt in the lead role, based on the life of Gangubai, who rose to prominence in the political sphere in Mumbai's Kamathipura area.
The film has been adapted from Hussain Zaidi's book 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai'.
 
Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court has already dismissed three petitions seeking deletion of the words 'Kamathipura', 'Kathiawadi' and 'China' from the film.
 
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice M S Karnik was hearing two public interest litigations (PILs) - filed by city MLA Amin Patel and one Hiten Mehta - and another petition submitted by Shraddha Surve, a resident of the Kamathipura area in south Mumbai.
