Alia Bhatt, known for her selective and concept-driven roles, is all set to take on a daring challenge in her career with her first adult film. The actress, who has impressed audiences with her diverse performances in movies like Highway, Udta Punjab, and Gangubai Kathiawadi, is now venturing into bold territory for a project that will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Produced under her own banner, Eternal Sunshine Pictures, in collaboration with Chalkboard Entertainment, this move has already generated significant buzz in Bollywood.
The film, which is said to have a lady-centric storyline, will be directed by Shriti Mukherjee, known for her work as an assistant director on films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra. Reports suggest that the film will be in a similar vein to Wake Up Sid, but with a more mature theme. This marks Alia’s first foray into adult content, which has become a topic of much speculation and excitement within the industry.
Throughout her career, Alia has built a reputation for choosing diverse and challenging roles. From playing a drug victim in Udta Punjab to a domestic violence survivor in Darlings, she has consistently showcased her versatility. Her upcoming projects, including stints in the YRF Spy Universe and a reportedly unique role in Love and War by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, are expected to continue her trend of taking on unconventional roles. Despite the shock value of her latest adult film decision, many believe it aligns with Alia’s established penchant for bold and unconventional characters.
