My wish fulfilled: Alia on Rajamouli's 'RRR'

Actress Alia Bhatt says now her wish has been fulfilled as she always wanted to work with the "Baahubali" series filmmaker.


Actress Alia Bhatt, who turned 26 on Friday and will make her Telugu debut with S.S. Rajamouli's "RRR", says now her wish has been fulfilled as she always wanted to work with the "Baahubali" series filmmaker.

Alia was interacting with the media at the Economic Times Edge - Femina 'Maharashtra Achievers Awards 2019' here on Thursday, on the day Rajamouli announced that she and Ajay Devgn would be a part of the period action film which stars Jr. NTR and Ram Charan in the lead.

On being a part of "RRR", Alia said: "Now, I am doing the preparation for it. I can't reveal the details of the film because I don't know whether I am supposed to talk about the film, but... I am feeling really grateful as I wished in my heart that I wanted to work Rajamouli sir and that wish has been fulfilled now, so I feel immense gratitude.

"It's my first time to work in the South Indian film industry, so I am really excited."

"RRR" will tell a fictitious story based on two freedom fighters. The film will release on July 30, 2020, in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and other Indian languages simultaneously.

Apart from this announcement, the teaser of Alia's upcoming film "Kalank" has got an immensely positive response from the audience. After that, she will feature in "Brahmastra".

Asked if she has set a new benchmark for herself by doing such big films, she said: "Whenever I do any film, I first see what is my character in the film and who is the director of the film. I think it's not important to remember what benchmark I have set for myself.

"I feel that playing my character honestly is important and what my director wants me to do with that character is important than anything else, so I don't know what benchmark I have created, but now I just want to create something good for my next film with a lot of honesty."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday urged well-known personalities and others to strengthen voter awareness efforts across the country.

Urging people to cast their votes in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Alia said: "I tweeted that the nation's voice is the nation's choice. We have elections for every resident of the country, so I urge people to go out, cast their vote and make a choice."
