Alia Bhatt recalls SS Rajamouli’s career advice, opens up on choosing diverse roles

Alia Bhatt worked with SS Rajamouli in ‘RRR’, one of the biggest hits of 2022. The film saw her share screen space with Ram Charan and Jr NTR and emerged as a global sensation. During a recent summit, Alia opened up about how she once received some valuable advice from the ace filmmaker.

“I asked SS Rajamouli what kind of films I should choose because I’m always torn. He said, whatever you choose, just do it with love. Because even if the film is not good, the audience will see love in your eyes for what you do, and they will connect with that. Because there is nothing greater than love in this world,” added the ‘Darlings’ star.

Alia also said that she tries to ‘mix it up’ while selecting roles as the audience has a short attention span. The actress further indicated that her approach to choosing roles has changed quite significantly over the years.

“I’ve also been very lucky. I’m not just blaming everything on luck, but it is a massive factor. Initially, I remember, I was choosing what was coming to me. They (the films) just happened to be different to one another. But genuinely, if I want to pinpoint it, I really believe what you give is what you get. I have a short attention span and I get bored easily. I need to mix it up and keep myself entertained.”, she added.

Alia, meanwhile, is going through a busy phase on the work front. She debuted in Hollywood with ‘Heart of Stone’, starring Gal Gadot. She was also seen in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’, which was directed by Karan Johar. She will soon be seen in ‘Jigra’, directed by Vasan Bala. It is produced by and features her in the lead.

‘Jigra’ is set to hit theatres on September 27.
