After a series of serious films, Alia Bhatt to do a comic-caper

Actress Alia Bhatt, who entered Bollywood with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year in 2012, has proved her acting prowess and versatility with a number of films, including Highway (2014), Udta Punjab (2016), Dear Zindagi (2016) and Raazi (2018).

However, we have never seen her in an out-and-out comedy film. Though she has been part of films such as Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, they were not comic entertainers.


But looks like that a comedy film had been there on her mind for a long time now, that is why when Ashwini Iyer Tiwari approached the actress for a next light-hearted film, she gave her nod to it as soon as she was narrated the story.

Sharing her excitement, Alia says, “They have brought an extremely fun concept to me. I am very excited, as that’s going to be my breakaway film from all the serious ones. Now, I am doing a light-hearted film."

Other details about the untitled project will be out soon.

Some were instead subjected to intimate virginity examinations at Heathrow Airport, with their bodies scrutinised by officials seeking to establish whether their stated reasons for entering the country were genuine. Decades later, many people remain unaware that the practice took place.

For filmmaker Keshavi Jaharia, that lack of awareness was one of the reasons the story needed to be told. Her short film Simran Kaur 1970 revisits the disturbing history of virginity examinations imposed on women arriving from the Indian subcontinent, particularly India and Pakistan, to marry in Britain.
