And I look forward to sharing the screen with someone as talented as Alia. She’s young and in a short span of time has already managed to don such amazing roles on screen.” (Also Read: The first pictures of Alia from the sets of ‘Raazi’ are here!)

She further spoke about her challenging role in the movie with a popular tabloid. Said Alia, “It’s based on a true story and it’s important to get the layers of the character right. I’ve been reading and re-reading the script for more than a month to absorb every bit of what the story holds. Meghna and I often sit and understand the character’s psyche, which will hopefully enrich my performance.”

Alia further spoke about working with director Meghna Gulzar, “She has such clarity on how she wants things; her eye for detail is amazing. She is running the show single-handedly and is doing a great job. Her passion is infectious.”

‘Raazi’ is directed by Meghna Gulzar, produced by Karan Johar and will be releasing on May 11, 2018.
