Alia admits to pleading Ayan to cast her in Brahmastra

Brahmastra is by far, one of the most awaited films of 2019, and besides the unique story line and the film being a superhero sci-fi flick, one major reason why everyone is looking forward to this film is because Alia Bhatt and beau Ranbir Kapoor will come together on screen for the first time. That's right! While all of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor fans are eagerly waiting to see the two love-birds romance on the 70 mm screen, little did they know that Alia Bhatt, perhaps, wasn't the first choice of director Ayan Mukerji.

In an interview with India Today, Alia revealed that she had pleaded Ayan Mukerji to cast her opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Brahmastra. "The idea for Brahmastra was conceived long back when Ayan (Mukerji, director) had just done Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. I wanted to work with him and I have always wanted to work with Ranbir as well. I pleaded to Ayan that please cast me with him, informed Alia Bhatt. Well, we are sure that Ayan Mukerji is not going to regret his decision because we all are well aware of Alia and her acting prowess. Thanks to social media, while the cast and crew of the film was shooting in Bulgaria, Alia kept giving us glimpses of the on-set masti and we are sure that Alia and Ranbir are going to create magic together on-screen.

But it was way back in 2007 when Ranbir had made his debut with Saawariya that Alia became a fan of Ranbir and wanted to learn the process of acting from him. "With Ranbir, it is a completely different experience because I have always admired him. He is my favourite actor since he made his debut. He will always remain my favourite because he is so honest and effortless. When I set out to work with him, I was thinking that I will understand his process of acting, but there's no process. He is like me, he acts in front of the camera, and suddenly off camera, he is seen eating chocolates, or chatting, wanting to know what is the gossip of the day. He is very hard working, so effortless and that is the beauty, Alia added.
