Alia Bhatt, a popular star of Hindi films for over a decade, had been weighing her Hollywood options for a few years. Then she got word of a new action franchise led and produced by Gal Gadot. Within a week of reading the script, the deal was closed.
“My parents from the very beginning have been very careful with the words of encouragement that they give me. … It helps when you grow up in a family that’s seen the highs and the lows and seen everything in between,” she said. “At the end of the day, my dad always says, you most definitely going cannot be the first member of your own fan club. So, try to have a 10-foot distance from it all.”
She doesn’t have a grand plan for her future in Hollywood and does not see herself moving to the U.S., like her friend“I think what Priyanka did was extremely brave and very different from what anyone has ever done. She’s such an inspiration to every young girl from India that has that big dream to be a global icon and a global star,” Bhatt said. “I don’t think I could do that. I want to continue to do movies in India.
“I still don’t know what I’m doing,” she added. “It’s just this one film and we’ll see how it goes from here.” The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
