As a seasoned film enthusiast with decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must say that Alia Bhatt has undeniably left an indelible mark on the Indian cinema landscape. Her ability to effortlessly embody the complexities and nuances of her characters is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Alia Bhatt has frequently garnered acclaim from directors she’s collaborated with, such as Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Imtiaz Ali. Most recently, Vasan Bala, the director of her latest film ‘Jigra’, added his name to this list by praising her talent. He noted that actresses like Alia can grasp a director’s vision for a scene without any verbal instruction, making them invaluable on set.

In an interview with Mashable India, Vasan Bala, who directed a film featuring Johar, discussed his experience working with the actress. He expressed that any director worth their salt should have the opportunity to work with her at least once. According to Bala, directors will encounter challenges after directing her because of her remarkable talent for comprehending a director’s requirements.

He believes that directors whom he admires greatly deserve a chance to collaborate with Alia Bhatt. If given the opportunity, they might become overly complacent, leading to difficulties in their subsequent films.

He shared that Alia has a remarkable knack for comprehending exactly what a director requires during a scene, often without any direct communication. Vasan shared an example from his collaboration with Bhatt, stating that on one occasion, he made a subtle gesture from his spot, and Alia knew instantly what he desired for the shot. This left him both amazed and in awe.

In simple terms, the director of Monica O My Darling shared that Alia is a star who avoids any fuss or demands. He mentioned that she doesn’t have an entourage and instead is consistently prepared and dedicated to her work. Consequently, he thinks that every respected director should collaborate with her at least once. However, due to the exceptionally high standards she sets, it might be challenging for directors to surpass her next project.

In the leading positions for “Jigra” are Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina. This film, helmed by Vasan Bala in both direction and co-writing, centers around the story of a girl who embarks on a rescue mission to free her wrongfully imprisoned brother from a foreign jail.
