The female lead of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Highway shares her experience of travelling across North India



Alia Bhatt, who plays Veera in the movie Highway, enjoyed her experience of working with Randeep Hooda and Imtiaz Ali. Her character in this film is particularly different from her style-diva-kind-of-role in her debut film ‘Student of the Year’. Veera is abducted by three men and she has to travel along with them on their journey across 6 different states of North India, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir. One of these three men is Randeep Hooda, whose character in this film is called Mahaveer. This Sajid Nadiadwala film is going to release on February 21 2014. 

Alia shared her most memorable moments while shooting in each of the six states with her fans, when she was in Koklata recently to promote the film. She remembers how difficult it was to shoot in Delhi as they had to shoot on the streets and it was difficult because of the crowd. She also revealed that the movie has actually been shot chronologically and hence they started with Delhi. The of the film Highway, which is being presented worldwide by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt Ltd., then moved to Haryana. Here they shot the scene in which Alia and Randeep come face to face for the first time. He drags her through an open field. The next destination was very special for Alia, as the crew celebrated her birthday in Rajasthan. Randeep gifted her a book on Acting, which was gifted to him by Naseeruddin Shah.

When the crew was shooting in Punjab, Alia says his biggest moment was when she climbed a tree all by herself. She says she had never done anything like that before and it is these little things that she feels has achieved during the shooting of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Highway. In Himachal, she met a group of women, that her father had met on an earlier trip and clicked some snaps with them. She also loved the snow covered mountains of Himachal Pradesh. When shooting in Kashmir, Alia shot a scene while holding a baby goat in her arms. That was for her the most memorable moment of the shoot.
