Alia Bhatt said in a recent interview that she asked Ayan Mukerji to cast her opposite Ranbir Kapoor in 'Brahmastra' because she always wanted to work with them
In a recent interview with Firstpost, Alia Bhatt revealed that she has always been a big admirer of Ranbir Kapoor and that she pleaded with director Ayan Mukerji to cast her opposite Ranbir in a film.
“The idea for 'Brahmastra' was conceived long back when Ayan 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,” she said.
When asked how was the experience of working with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time in 'Brahmastra', Alia replied, “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 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 for the day. He is very hard working, so effortless and that is the beauty."
Alia also spoke at length about her 'Gully Boy' co-star Ranveer Singh and 'Kalank' co-star Varun Dhawan. “It is very different with each one of them. Ranveer’s energy is on an another level. We shared a very special bond. It was very new. There was lot of admiration, lot of excitement for both of us. I genuinely love him. He is a gem of a person. I actually feel that Ranveer and I am very similar. Varun is like my right arm. We have a strong connect. I understand what he means even before he says it. We instinctively act together. It is like an unsaid thing. We almost see the imaginary waves going through the two of us,” she said.
Alia will soon begin working on Karan Johar's directorial 'Takht'. After that she has her father Mahesh Bhatt’s 'Sadak 2' with Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Inshallah' with Salman Khan and SS Rajamouli’s 'RRR' with Ajay Devgn.
