'Ranbir is my favourite actor, pleaded to Ayan Mukerji to cast me opposite him in Brahmastra': Alia Bhatt: Alia Bhatt

Bollywood star Alia Bhatt, who's  a self-confessed fan of her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor's works recently revealed that she pleaded to filmmaker Ayan Mukerji to cast her opposite Ranbir in Brahmastra, their upcoming film together,

According to reports, the 26-year-old actress said, “The idea for Brahmastra was conceived long back when Ayan had just done Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. I wanted to work with him and I have always wanted to work with Ranbir as well. I pleaded to Ayan that please cast me with him,” she said. 

Talking further about her experience working with Ranbir, she said, “With Ranbir, it is a completely different experience because I have always admired him. He is my favourite actor since he made his debut. He will always remain my favourite because he is so honest and effortless. When I set to work with him, I was thinking that I will understand his process of acting, but there’s no process. He is like me, he acts in front of the camera, and suddenly off camera, he is seen eating chocolates, or chatting, wanting to know what is the gossip for the day. He is very hard working, so effortless and that is the beauty.”

After Kalank, Alia will soon be seen in Brahmastra which is set to release in December this year. Post that, she will also begin working on Karan Johar’s directorial, Takht later this year. She also has Mahesh Bhatt’s Sadak 2 and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah and SS Rajamouli’s RRR in her kitty.
