Raazi's 100 Crore Makes Alia Bhatt Realise That With Box Office Power Comes Responsibility

New Delhi: Alia Bhatt's Raazi scored a century at the box office on Monday. The overall collections of Raazi as of now is Rs 104.32 crore. Alia Bhatt, who received rave reviews her performance as Sehmat, an Indian spy, said that with the success of Raazi, she needs to be more responsible with her choice of films, reports mid-day. "The numbers show that the audience connected with the content in a big way. I feel a sense of validation and gratitude. But with success, comes responsibility too. With this, I feel I need to be more responsible in my choices henceforth," she said.

Raazi is Alia Bhatt's third film to enter the 100 crore club. 2014's 2 States and last year's Badrinath Ki Dulhania are her other two films with over Rs 100 crore earnings. However, Alia Bhatt said that a film's box office returns doesn't affect her criteria for choosing a project. "If I start taking these factors into account, it will affect my decision-making process when I am choosing a film. I have never thought about it in the past and I don't expect to do it in the future," she told mid-day.
