Was never too confident to be part of Bhansali, Rajamouli’s films: Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt, touted as one of the most sought-after young actors in Bollywood, says she was “never confident” of being part of two eminent filmmakers Sanjay Leela Bhansali and S S Rajamouli’s films. Alia feels overwhelmed to be directed by two renowned directors Bhansali and Rajamouli in “Inshallah” and “RRR” respectively. She finds both of them similar, when it comes to their passion for cinema. “For me the bigness, the high is to be working with these two directors. There is a similarity between them, I think they are both obsessed with their films. “They have got such a clear vision with what they do. They are so creative, it is all artistic. I was never too confident that I will be part of either of their films,” Alia told DIN. It was a long wait for Alia, who had auditioned for Bhansali’s 2005 movie “Black” at the age of nine, but was rejected.She adds, “I was hoping for many years to work with him. When one day news came up that he is doing a film I was like why isn’t he coming to me. When he did come to me, I was over the moon.” “Inshallah” will see her sharing screen space with superstar Salman Khan for the first time. Talking about how her pairing with Salman will be presented in the film, Alia says, “I don’t want to talk much about it. I would just say let’s wait for the magician being, Mr Bhansali to reveal its traits.”He has a certain idea and vision for this film and he will put it out there in front of the world. Till then we should not say much. This film is lovely in every aspect — be it the story or the world that he is creating.” The shoot for the film is likely to begin from August. And it will co-produced by Salman and Bhansali’s production banners and is reportedly set to arrive in cinema houses during Eid next year.
