After 'Udta Punjab', 'Kapoor & Sons' and 'Dear Zindagi', Alia Bhatt has three other major projects in line, including Meghna Gulzar's 'Calling Sehmat', Ayan Mukerji's 'Dragon' opposite Ranbir Kapoor, and Zoya Akhtar's 'Gully Boy' opposite Ranveer Singh. Bagging two major-budget movies across leading actors is a major feat in itself.
The actress considers her eccentric co-star, Ranveer Singh, a “complete crackpot”. “I have worked with him in ads, and I think I have an idea about what shooting is going to be like. I'm excited because 'Gully Boy' is an emotional story and our characters are very interesting, so it will be a unique combination. I have always wanted to work with Zoya, who I think is absolutely fab. This year, I am working with two actors and two directors who I've always wanted to work with.”
Superhero movie 'Dragon', meanwhile, will see Alia trying her hands with action sequences. “I will have action scenes in the film. It's not mindless, but serious action. I would totally love to do an action film where I get to kick butt. 'Dragon' isn't that film but maybe, a more fantasised version of it.” She revealed it will be a three-part series spread over the next 10 years. She said, “It's not a predictable story. All I can tell you is that 'Dragon' is a unique story about love, mixed with a lot of power. It's too early to reveal who has what superpower. But, it's not a thriller. I don't know if we have seen anything like 'Dragon' ever before. That's the beauty of the film.”
