MUMBAI: Bollywood starlet Alia Bhatt says she would love to play Hollywood actor’s Jennifer Lawrence’s character in the Oscar-winning film Silver Linings Playbook as she finds the role ‘brilliant’.
Alia opined on Hollywood and its opportunities and more during a conversation on an audio show.
“It’s funny that you mentioned Jennifer Lawrence, but I love her and I relate a lot to her for some reason. I feel like we are pretty similar and she is a fabulous actor as well.
“At least out there, there is a lot of respect and love given to writers and just writing which we are still waking up to over here so that’s the only thing I would want maybe that just more respect for the writers so they feel motivated because eventually, it’s all in the writing.
“And of course the directing but eventually that’s your raw material. So better opportunities I don’t know but yes definitely I’ve seen characters like I would’ve loved to play Jennifer Lawrence’s character in the Silver Lining Playbook and I was like that’s such a brilliant character to play but maybe someday, hopefully,” Alia added.
