| |||
Monday, 5th June 2017, 07:00 PM ST We had earlier reported that Alia Bhatt was approached by Meghna Gulzar’s next film. Meghna’s last film 'Talvaar' was applauded critically and commercially as well but then too Alia Bhatt was not able to decide about Meghna’s next project as it was based on the volatile Kashmir scenario. After a lot of thinking over it, Alia has finally agreed to come onboard. According to a source, “It was a dilemma for Alia, as the subject is controversial. But then again, as Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter, you learn to take the controversies in your stride. He convinced her that doing an occasional social issue-based subject along with her mainstream films was the right career move. Bhatt himself churned out an 'Arth' with a 'Duplicate.' Following her father’s footsteps, Alia has done a hard-hitting 'Udta Punjab' along with 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania', as well as a 'Student Of The Year' with 'Dear Zindagi’. Meghna’s film will be her next benchmark.” Another reason for Alia’s delay in confirming was the unavailability of dates. “Alia had allotted all her dates July onwards to Ayan Mukerji’s super-hero film 'Dragon' opposite Ranbir Kapoor. However, that is now on hold, and so she has time now. She and Meghna have already started the prepping. Alia wants to immerse into the backstory of Kashmir to prepare for her role. She has a lot of reading to do,” the source adds.
