Ali Bhatt will next be seen in Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania
Highlights
- After proving herself as an actor in Highway, Alia Bhatt wants her future film choices to be equally brave and varied.
- Alia, who is the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt, had a tailor-made entry into Bollywood with Karan Johar's hit Student of the Year.
- The 21-year-old actress, however, impressed critics in her subsequent movies like Highway and Two States.
- In her fourth film, Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania, Alia plays a gusty heroine, who is a modern woman.
- "Kavya (her character) is very lively and fiery. She wears her heart on her sleeves. Coming from a small town, her values are dear to her but she also portrays a modern woman with strong opinions. That’s why she is the one carrying the hero in the film's posters," Alia told PTI in an interview.
- The actress admits that the pressure to do well has increased, now that she has three films behind her, but that would not influence her film choices.
- "The pressure is always there. But I know that I want to do good films. I want to stand out with all my characters and I want to give the audience as much variety as possible," she said.
- She has teamed up with her Student of the Year co-star Varun Dhawan for the second time for Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania.
- Alia says their chemistry is better this time as they have become more comfortable with camera.
- "The chemistry is good because of the characters we are playing. Also, I think we were not as nervous and as confused about what we were supposed to do in front of the camera. It became very organic," she said.
- After lending her voice to Sooha Saha in Imtiaz Ali's Highway, Alia took to mic again to sing Rahet Fateh Ali-rendered Samjhawan in an unplugged version.
- The self-confessed bathroom singer was not scared to take on the popular number.
- "I was not scared because I am not a professional singer. I was aware that if I mess up, I will not get as much flak. I love singing. It gives me a certain sense of peace. I am not singing to impress anybody and I am very proud as well as happy to get an opportunity to sing this song," she said.
- Alia also said she wants to explore her singing side further. "I want to explore it. I have been advised by A R Rahman to take my singing seriously and I am thinking about it."
- The film has been directed by debutant Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.
- Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, slated to release this Friday, also marks the film debut of TV actor Siddharth Shukla of Balika Vadhu fame.
