New Delhi: Alia Bhatt, who is becoming one of the top choices of filmmakers, had to make a tough decision recently to choose between Shahid Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar.
She ultimately went on with Shahid.
Now don't start guessing! This was only about the choice of films. Alia got two offers of films, one opposite Shahid in ‘Udta Punjab' and another opposite Farhan in ‘Rock On' sequel. She chose to work with his ‘Shaandaar' co-star Shahid.
One reason behind her refusal is thought to be the ensemble cast of ‘Rock-On 2'.After all, she has always worked in the films where she played a female lead.
The role she was offered in ‘Rock On' sequel was the female band member who replaces Luke Kenny's character who died in the first film.
The bigger director's name associated with ‘Udta Punjab' is thought to be another reason behind Alia's choice. It is being directed by ‘Ishqiya' famed Abhishek Chaubey, whereas ‘Rock-On 2' is the debut film of Shujaat Saudagar.
A leading daily reported that the actress made her choice only after she realized that her role in ‘Udta Punjab' is more challenging than in ‘Rock-On 2'. Reportedly her father Mahesh Bhatt also helped her in making the decision.
Since Alia has been giving back to back hit films, she gets more films than she can. She made her debut with ‘Student of the Year' in 2012. Since then, all of four films she has worked in have been great hits.
