Tuesday, 14th June 2016, 07:00 PM IST Alia Bhatt will be seen playing a Bihari migrant in the awaited ‘Udta Punjab’. The actress revealed that her character and Shahid Kapoor’s character play victims of drug addicts in the film. At a recent event, the actress spoke about substance abuse and the film’s view on drug abuse. Alia spoke at length, “The point of the film is not to pass judgment but to show you the light that yes, it is actually a problem and we empathize with you. But eventually it’s all about the support system you have, the people in your life, who will guide you in a certain way and how strong you are as a person inside.” About the film, the actress further said, “‘Udta Punjab’ is not just about drugs, but also substance abuse, including alcohol — random things which can even be available at the chemist but we don’t know about them. In the film, Shahid and I are the victims of substance abuse, Diljit and Kareena are more the voices of reason and the hope of curbing it. It is about four different lives and each character has their own personal journey.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
