Imtiaz
Ali is an amazing writer and director, which you can easily make out from his
earlier films. He has given the Indian cinema some hit movies like Love Aaj Kal,
Jab We Met, Socha Na Tha, and Rockstar. Currently, he is working on his next,
which is a road film called Highway. He has written, directed as well as
produced the venture with actors Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda playing the lead
in it. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is
presenting Highway worldwide in association with UTV Motion Pictures on 21st
February this year.
Talking
about the wonderful director Imtiaz Ali, the leading lady of his film Alia
Bhatt said, “In the list of directors I wanted
to work with, Imtiaz was right up there. You know, he doesn't look at the
monitor when you are in the shot. Instead, he looks at you directly as you are
performing. I knew it was an unusual part I was playing in HIGHWAY but for
that, I didn't have to do any special preparation. I just sat with Imtiaz,
spent a lot of time in discussions with him around the film and the characters,
and voila, I was ready for the part.” Sajid
Nadiadwala also shares the same positive views about Imtiaz. According to
him the director is a great person to work with and therefore, he is very
excited to be associated with Highway.
Alia also cannot stop herself talking about his male
counterpart in the film Randeep and says, “Randeep though serious and has a
brooding nature, let me tell you that mentally and in heart, he is much younger
than even me. We got along really well during the filming. We spent quite some
time together, since the film has been shot so much outdoors. I would pull his
leg constantly. After being with him for so long, I consider Randeep as a
buddy.” Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Nadiadwala
also consider the man to be the right choice for Highway!
