He said, “My heart soars with pride when I see her standing with the who’s who of international players like Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan.

Further, Mahesh recalled a conversation with Alia where they were discussing what Hollywood has that Bollywood doesn’t. Revealing Alia’s thoughts on this question, Mahesh said, “I once remember asking her, ‘What is it that they have that we don’t have? And her straight reply was ‘Money’. She said it with great humility. She also said that they have a way of doing things and they are very professional but they have money, otherwise we have it all. I think that confidence is very important for the nation.”

Directed by Tom Harper, Alia Bhatt’s Hollywood debut film Heart of Stone will premiere on Netflix on August 11.
