At the as of late held Big Zee Entertainment Awards in which both Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt won honors for Udta Punjab, the previous let out that he was the person who felt the Bhatt young lady was perfect for the part! Not just that he even shrewdly passed on the content of the film to her. He uncovered that it took one year to get a gesture from Alia. Around then, the performing artist was shooting for her movies consecutive, yet Shahid gave her as much time as she required and continued she went ahead load up. Alia agreed saying, “It was one of the toughest roles of my career.”
In one of his earlier interviews, Shahid had revealed what kind of reaction he had received from the actress after reading the script. “She (Alia) read the script and called me crying as she was moved by the film. She agreed to do the film and it is very brave on her part,” he had quipped.
