Alia Bhatt (L) in Highway directed by Imtiaz Ali
Alia Bhatt made her Bollywood debut with typical Bollywood fare - Student of the Year. Her second film, Highway, however, was quite a brave choice for a newcomer. The film is based on the Stockholm syndrome. It tells the story of a young woman who discovers freedom after being kidnapped.
As a guest on Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Alia had spoken at length about how she pursued Imtiaz Ali as she was keen to work with the director. However, Imtiaz insists that’s not exactly how it happened. In fact, he wanted to cast an older woman in Highway, but changed his mind after meeting Alia Bhatt.
