Actress Alia Bhatt, who is playing the main lead in
Meghna Gulzar's "Raazi", says the audience will see her in a completely
different avtar in the film.
"I think in 'Raazi' audience will see me in
completely different avtar at least that is my wish because 'Raazi' as a film is
very different.
"Its first time I am doing a period film and is based on
true story as well, so I am very excited for it and I hope audience will like
it," said Alia on the sidelines of second edition of Lokmat Maharashtra's Most
Stylish Awards on Tuesday in Mumbai.
Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt had come
together to recreate the magic of Romeo and Juliet, only this time, to spread
the message of 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan - Don't waste your love on somebody, who
doesn't value #SwachhIndia.'
The short clip which is the part of the
clean India initiative has been released by the actors on Twitter and hopes to
drive home an important point - "If we don't litter abroad then why do we litter
in India".
Talking about the initiative, Alia said, "Who doesn't want a
clean India. Definitely, it's very important campaign and we added some humour
to it so that people can also get entertained but the point is 'Badlega scene
Jab India hoga clean".
When asked Alia whether she likes to be stylish,
she said, "Obviously..I really like to stay stylish. I think it has become
necessary to be stylish."
Alia's next film "Raazi" is an adaptation of
Harinder Sikka's "Calling Sehmat", a novel inspired by the almost-unbelievable
real-life story of a woman who Sikka named Sehmat, to protect her identity.
Alia is playing Sehmat, a Kashmiri woman who marries a Pakistani officer
with the intention to source out intelligence details and pass it off to Indian
forces. Vicky Kaushal is essaying the role of the Pakistani officer.
"Raazi" is being directed by Meghna Gulzar and produced by Karan Johar and
Vineet Jain.
It is scheduled to release on 11 May ,2018.
