Alia Bhatt compared Vedang to Ranveer

During her recent chat with Jr NTR and Karan Johar, Alia praised Vedang for his dedication and hard work. Comparing him to her Gully Boy and Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani co-star, Ranveer Singh, she said, “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. Vedang 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 ‘Jigra’ actress continued, “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 he is actually an old soul. 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 centred. He has a lot of depth in him, which I think will take him really far.”
