Bollywood dimple queen Alia Bhatt is currently busy promoting her upcoming film 'Jigra', heaped praise on her co-star Vedang Raina who played the role of her brother in the film.
During a conversation with Jr NTR and the filmmaker Karan Johar, the actress talked about working with her on-screen brother Vedang Raina and said that he is a lot like Ranveer Singh so he reminds her of Ranveer Singh.
What Alia said about Vedang
Here are the exact words of Alia:
“Vedang is fabulous. He is amazing. I don't think he knows how amazing he is. I told him when we did a very important scene, where he was crying, that one good thing is that you cry prettily and it's a good thing for a Hindi film hero. He is so hardworking,” said Alia.
“He is also very instinctive but also has some sort of prep. He reminded me a lot of Ranveer Singh and I told him this as well,” the Rocky Aur Rani kii Prem Kahaani actress revealed.
She went on to explain, "Just the way he is and his dedication. I think it is a huge compliment. The dedication and focus to the moment and the shot. Of course, he is his own person. He sings so beautifully. Vasan [Bala] and I would discuss this all the time that he is actually an old soul.”
Alia Bhatt further elaborated, “I mean I would think I am an old soul but quite on the contrary, Vedang who is younger than me, is like 60! His soul is very deep-rooted and centered. He has a lot of depth in him, which I think will take him really far.”
Apart from Bhatt and Raina, Vasan Bala’s action-thriller ‘Jigra’, produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, also features Aditya Nanda, Manoj Pahwa and Rahul Ravindran.
The title is scheduled for theatrical release on October 11, coinciding with the Hindu festival Dussehra.
