The original plan was to cast Alia with Randeep Hooda, but they were already doing "Highway" together, therefore, a hunt is on for another leading man to be paired with the actress.
Interestingly, while conversing with Karan Johar on the latter's talk show Bhatt had described Imtiaz's “Rockstar” as the most overrated film.
But he seems to have liked the director's “Highway” a lot more.
He said: "It is an outstanding film. Imtiaz Ali staggers you with his simplicity. It is bare, harsh and truthful."
