Anurag Kashyap Hails Alia Bhatt as ‘One of the Best Actors in the Country’ and Expresses Desire to Collaborate

Alia Bhatt has been referred to as “one of the best actors in the country” by Anurag Kashyap. The director continued by saying he “would love to” work with her. Anurag Kashyap admitted to Zoom that he always wanted to work with Alia but his films’ budgets prevented him from approaching her. He is currently preparing for the release of his forthcoming crime drama Haddi. said Anurag Kashyap, “I think Alia [Bhatt] is one of the best performers in the country, and I always reach out to her after watching her work. But I keep quiet when I don’t like something she’s done.”

Anurag further added, “I would love to (work with Alia Bhatt) if it doesn’t affect the budget and the dynamics of my film, but it also has to come from the other side.” He continued, “I don’t believe in wishful thinking. I don’t chase actors more than once. If they tell me to make adjustments to the script, I do it, but mostly, their hesitation is enough to get me to back out. Because if their heart isn’t in it, you can tell immediately on the screen.”

Days after Alia Bhatt won the National Award for Best Actress for her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, Anurag Kashyap commented on her. For her performance in Mimi, Kriti Sanon also took home the National Award in the same category.
