In a recent interview with Zoom, Anurag opened up on Alia Bhatt and how he is a great admirer of her work. Expressing a desire to work with her, he said, “I think Aliais one of the best performers in the country, and I always reach out to her after watching her work.
But I keep quiet when I don’t like something she’s done. I would love to (work with her) if it doesn’t affect the budget and the dynamics of my film, but it also has to come from the other side.”
He carried on, “I don’t believe in wishful thinking. I don’t chase actors more than once. If they tell me to make adjustments to the script, I do it, but mostly, their hesitation is enough to get me to back out. Because if their heart isn’t in it, you can tell immediately on the screen.”
Earlier, taking to Instagram, Anurag had called the Alia starrer Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani one of Karan Johar’s best film so far, for which he bought tickets, not once but twice. He wrote, “Best @karanjohar film by far . He never leaves his world but he also does not hold back any punches . Also it’s the second KJo film that I bought the tickets for 🙈that too twice , and sending everyone that trusts me to go see .”
“The way karan addresses all kinds of snobbery , all kinds of shame and phobias that come from our conditioning , the way he addresses our conditioning with all the humour and aplomb and joharisms.. was totally sucked in his world’, he added.
He also was full of praise for the the leading couple Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and the writing team. Hhe wrote, “Some super writing , a top of form @ranveersingh , ever so brilliant @aliaabhatt and there sparkling chemistry .
After a long time I loved the dialogue writing in mainstream Hindi film where people talk like they talk”
