Randeep:Highway was the first film where Alia got to act a little.

Yeah, you've often done films which are strong in content...
(Cuts in) But not promoted well.

Highway was...
It could have been promoted better. Highway started out as a Randeep Hooda film and ended up being Alia's movie.

Well, Alia is young and happening and till then had played an airhead heroine.
Highway was the first film where she got to act a little.

Listen to Highway songs on Gaana.com

Being Mahesh Bhatt's daughter, the media hype was inevitable. The story tilted towards the girl protagonist at the end, so did the promotions. But without Mahabir there would have been no Highway.
(Laughs) Maybe if Imtiaz Ali had gone the other way, he would have made more money. But once I finish with a film, I hate going back to it.

So, Highway is not a milestone in your career?
It was Alia's second film and took her to parts of India she'd never seen before. I've seen that India before. So, for me Highway was just a good movie. I've done other good movies like Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai, Jism 2, Murder 3, but somehow I have never got credit for their success.Bollywood is a funny world. That's why I like sports better; you either win or lose there!

poor guy did not get any credit for a fab performance..*Neoptism*

Alia ne khaa lia Randeep Hooda ka role 🤣

I liked randeep in highway he was good . Alia has improved a lot but when whole industry and media was just speaking about alias performance.She got all the credit.

He sounds bitter here😕 Not surprised cos ppl only mentioned Alia post Highway 😆 But whats up with 'Highway is the first film where Alia got to act a little?' Its only her second film for god's sake..He is talking like she has done10 films and she finally got to act in Highway 😆

He sounds bitter 😆

Highway was promoted well. Songs were very popular. I think mixed reviews from critics affected the movie. People usually expect critics review to be very good for such movies. Some of my friends wanted to watch it, but thought it would be a bust after mixed reviews.

The saving grace of Highway was Randeep Hooda. The movie hyped around Alia but after it's release everyone was impressed with Randeep...

I don't think Highway could have been complete without Alia or Randeep. Both of them were the soul of the film! (Mahabir and Veera)
