Revealed: Alia Bhatt wants to do a slapstick film next
The actress wants to do a funny film ‘where pies fly, cakes are thrust in people’s faces and they slip on banana peels’
Alia Bhatt wants to do an out-and-out comedy next. She elaborates, “You know the kind where pies fly across the room, cakes go into people’s faces, people slip on banana peels…yes, slapstick comedy. I want one of those in my career now.”
Alia, who comes off some serious, contemplative roles in films like Udta Punjab and Dear Zindagi, feels the time is right to have some fun.
It ain’t easy
“People feel it’s very easy to do comedy on screen. It is not! I think it’s the most difficult genre. I’d like to give it a genuine try,” says Alia.
She admires Sridevi’s comic timing and feels getting it right is very important. “For the audience to enjoy the humour, the actor attempting comedy must first enjoy herself to the fullest. I plan to have a ball,” she says.
