Alia Bhatt reveals her decision of entering the Production world

Recently in an interview with Anupama Chopra’s Film Companion, Alia Bhatt was asked why did she decide to take on the “burden of production” To this, Alia said, “It is not a burden if – A: You are recognising the potential of the script and at the end of the day you are putting it together and if I’m being a producer, I’m getting a percentage over the profits. It’s a great thing for me. It’s not like I’m not going to make money. But for me it’s never been about the money. It’s actually about – If I have reached 10 years in the industry where I think I’m in a good position to support new work and new talent. It is not only about fueling my engine but now use that fuel and fuel other engines as well.”

Talking about her future plan, Alia said, “At the end of the day, we’re all contributing to cinema, the magic of movies. I realised why can’t I be a part of the creative production process. It is not about line producing or bringing the finance. It is about putting a project creatively, holding the director or the writer’s hand and maybe not always starring in the film. That’s something I want to do. If you ask me my next 10-year plan, it is in building my production house.”

She further said, “larger ambition” she has as a producer. An excited Alia said, “Funding new voices, telling beautiful stories. Heart-touching, emotional, sometimes one strange psychological thriller. Like that. I want to tell stories that are unpredictable. I don’t think I can do the big tentpole films. I don’t think I can produce films like that..I don’t have the mind for it and that requires another mind and ability all together.”

Adding, “The kind of warm, fuzzy, life-touching films we see on OTT, those are the kind of films I want to produce. The ones which start a conversation. My mind is going more towards that,” Alia said.
