‘Heart of Stone’ director comments on Alia Bhatt’s ‘fierce talent’
Before the movie premiere ScreenRant interviewed the director of Heart of Stone who explained why he chose Alia Bhatt as the enemy to be defeated in the film.
I think one of the really good things about streamers is that as the market becomes more global and people from all over the world come to the platform at the same time, they become more aware of how much great talent there is in other countries. Also. I think not only with Alia, but also with Mattias, obviously with Gael, with Ging, with Jamie, we really created a multi-ethnic line-up and it feels organic to the story, I like it. Alia is just a shining example of a fierce, flamboyant and charismatic talent, she has everything you would expect from a movie star, but she is also a real artist. She has a huge job behind her, she has been an actress for a long time and honed her skills. Working with her is a real pleasure.
The character played by Alia Bhatt is a young Indian woman. The actress, as the director clarified, from the very beginning had many ideas for the role in “Heart of Stone”:
He had many ideas about where Dhawan was from, what his upbringing would be like, and things he might and might not say. She once again gave authenticity, she plunged headlong into it. What I liked the most about what he did was that he made his character down to earth because a villain never thinks that way. No one thinks that they are doing bad things, and even if they do, they think that they did it for a good reason and justify it. I think this is his real contribution.
