After a decade of portraying emotionally layered, intense roles, Alia Bhatt is embracing a new creative direction, one inspired by her daughter, Raha. In a recent conversation with Grazia, the ‘Raazi’ and ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ star said she now wants to build a cinematic world her daughter can one day enjoy and laugh along with.
Alia admitted she hasn’t yet made a film her daughter Raha can watch, a wish that’s been quietly growing in her. Motherhood, she said, has given her a fresh perspective and drawn her toward comedy, a genre she’s never explored. While she hasn’t confirmed any projects, Alia hinted that “exciting stuff” is in the works and that if she follows her instincts, comedy may well be her next step.
Alia Bhatt’s upcoming slate highlights both range and ambition. Next, she stars in ‘Alpha’, a high-octane thriller set in YRF’s Spy Universe, playing a commanding officer in an elite all-women combat unit alongside Sharvari Wagh. She will also reunite with Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali for ‘Love & War’, a period romantic drama co-starring Vicky Kaushal.
