Shahid broke that for me so that was a lot of fun. Usually we Pisceans aren’t fond of other Pisceans. He’s the first Piscean that I am actually fond of. I always felt very, very comfortable with him. He is a senior actor, but I never felt that. Honestly to me it was a big deal, because he has been around for quite a few years already. So tell us about working with Shahid Kapoor in this mad quirky film. To be perfectly honest it was too much fun! I need a whole new word to describe this experience. (Laughs)ĭid you enjoy shooting this film because you not only had the regular story but you also had all the dream sequences. One thing that I was really very happy about was that I got to wear a mustache. If what you are wearing is really loose and your hair is open and if you are more comfortable there is an ease that comes into your body language. If you are wearing something tight, you are going to feel a sharpness about your character and your demeanor. You know, wearing something like that automatically affects you and your energy. Aliya is a girl who always, always wears boots – even if she is wearing a sari she is wearing boots.
You know what really does it for me and what I am very happy about for this character is the kind of clothing she wears. These are a few things that I talked with my director about and began working with. She has this energy and this sparkle in her eyes. Also it was the way she walks, it was this kind of easy, like she was almost floating by herself but she was actually walking on the sidewalk walk. Honestly speaking Stacey, I need a couple of things that the director tells me to play with, for example there was this trivia thing that I played with. I am really happy that I went ahead and did it. This was something that I really, really wanted to explore. So because of all that and she was a character I liked. No one is even asking her but she is just telling them. Also because she is an insomniac, she has spent a lot of time reading, she is a trivia queen and she has all these fun facts stowed away in her head.
We have not made a love story out of it, so to speak, so that is something that really, really got my attention. Number one is that she is an insomniac, so that instantly made me very interested because insomnia is an angle we have not really touched on before in film. She has these little things that she does. Tell us about your character in Shaandaar.Īs I said my character’s name is also Alia – that is very cool. It had a really unique touch and I think that is what had me sold. I was just going off the basis of this madness that he was trying to get out there. And you know, at this time, his film Queen hadn’t even released so I wasn’t going off the basis of that. There were all these random things that are put together in this crazy, crazy world. Then there is Shahid, who is the wedding planner, who is kind of this good boy gone bad attitude’. You know, he just kept telling me things like that and like ‘oh there is going to be one family that only wears gold. The character’s name is going to be Aliya. Like ‘Alia this is a destination wedding film. When my director came and gave me the narration he told me many random things. What was your first thought when you heard the narration? This seems to be a different, kind of quirky film. Right now I am fortunate enough to get those different kinds of characters. Whether or not I get it – that really depends on the director and the kind of writers that we have. I really try and explore a new side to me with each film. I also look for characters, movies, moments, and parts that challenge me. You kind of get an instinct and if you think this a character and a film that you would want to watch and that my friends and family would want to watch, then you go ahead and do it. What goes into your decision to take on characters? See what she had to say about her character, working with Shahid and what she thinks is shaandaar about Shaandaar in this exclusive! We got a chance to have a quick chat about the film with the lovely actress. Directed by Vikas Bahl of Queen fame, the film also stars Shahid Kapoor and Pankaj Kapur.
This week we get to see yet another side of the young actress, the dreamy side, in the quirky rom-com Shaandaar. With smart choices and amazing performances in Highway and 2 States, Alia has more than lived up to the promise she showed in SOTY. From her first moment on screen in her debut film Student of the Year, Alia Bhatt has been an actress to watch.
