to have on sets: Alia Bhatt

Since her debut Bollywood film, Student Of
The Year (2012), Alia Bhatt has been on quite
a roll with several back-to-back hits, including
Highway (2014), 2 States (2014) and Humpty
Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014). In fact, she will
be seen in another big-ticket venture next
year, in which she will share screen space with
Ranbir Kapoor, something that she is very
excited about.
"I know that Ranbir's energy is superb. When
Imtiaz Ali (director) and his team were
working with him on Rockstar (2011), they
used to call him their soldier, because he was
always there for the team. Plus, he is very
adjusting [while working on a film]. So, he is
the best actor to have on the sets," she says.
Interestingly, Alia, too, was referred to as a
soldier during the making of Highway. "Imtiaz
and the team started calling me the same,
saying, Even you are like a soldier. You
remind us a lot of Ranbir.' So, it will be quite
interesting to work with him. Plus, Ayan
(Mukerji; director of her next film) is a very
close friend of mine," she adds.
On the other hand, the 22-year-old will once
again be seen with Shahid Kapoor (after their
recent outing) in director Abhishek Chaubey's
next Udta Punjab, a project she calls the
"mother of all things different". "When you get
into a space like Highway or Abhishek's film,
the point is to shock a bit, and step out of
your comfort zone. I am not doing the film
only because it's different. I'm doing it also
because I believe in my character, and the
subject of the film," she says.http://m.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/ranbir-kapoor-is-the-best-actor-to-have-on-sets-alia-bhatt/story-dTosxWMf1MyZrQDKqS4QDL.html
