Alia Bhatt: “Now makers show a lot more trust in me”

Alia Bhatt has sure come a long way. From her ‘Student of the Year’ (2012) debut,��to her upcoming ‘de-glam’ role in ‘Udta Punjab’, Bhatt has shown much versatility in her characters. She admits that makers do trust her more now, so she does have a certain responsibility towards her acting.

Bhatt spoke to Mid-Day saying, “Of course, it has become harder now. Initially, I could afford to do things on my own since I was new to the industry. But now, makers show a lot more trust in me and with trust comes responsibility. However, I don’t overthink. I am aware of my position in the industry. If I said no to a film like ‘Udta Punjab’ after ‘Shaandaar’, filmmakers would have thought that I have closed door for experimental movies. But the fact that I am excited about such films tells them that I am open to them. Of course there is destiny at play, but at the same time, I am conscious about films I want to be part of.”

‘Udta Punjab’ is slated for a 17th June release.
