Alia Bhatt gets into the skin of her character completely on the sets of Raazi
Alia Bhatt is prepping up for Meghna Gulzar’s next titled Raazi. The film is based on Harinder Sikka’s book Calling Sehmat and also stars Vicky Kaushal in the lead role. In the espionage thriller set during the 1971 war between India and Pakistan, Alia is to play a Kashmiri girl married to a Pakistani army officer, who provides valuable information to the Indian forces.
The actor has started shooting for the film and we came across her pictures on the sets. Alia is seen in her de-glam avatar and has gotten into the skin of her character completely.
When asked about how her shoot is going on, the talented actor recently said, “I won’t lie. Yes, it has been very challenging. The shooting [of the film] is still on, and I still have a month left [before its completion]. We have been shooting in almost a non-stop manner, barring a few days when the shoot got disrupted [due to the recent unrest in the region]. But overall, it has been a good and an interesting journey — creatively as well as mentally. I am in Patiala right now, and I feel that when you are shooting outdoors, it’s always lovely because you are only with your film dedicating all your energies and attention to it. Plus, it’s lovely being in Patiala.”
Talking about her role, she had earlier said, “I’m going through one of the most extensive preparations for this film. The last time I did something like this, was for Udta Punjab. But that also was only with the dialect. Raazi is about dialect, body language and things like driving a big heavy jeep… Shifting those gears is a different ball game for me altogether. I am learning Urdu so it’s also going to help me in the longer run. I’m playing with the language for over a month now and every day, I am sitting with it for hours. I know most of my dialogues by heart right now because I have been reading them over and over again. I am having a lot of fun with it.”
