Alia Bhatt about doing one film at a time

During a conversation with The Times of India, she revealed how she is now prioritising comfort instead of putting all of her energy into movies. Alia said, "I don't really look at my career in phases or milestones. The way I chose films earlier is the same way I choose them now - by trying to do different things, setting myself up for new challenges, and constantly putting myself outside my comfort zone."

The Jigra actress added, "Of course, the volume and the speed at which I work now are different because I have a child. But it's a comfortable pace, and I'm happy with it. I like doing one film at a time and giving it all my energy. Earlier, I would do two or three films simultaneously, but I don't want to do that anymore."

She further revealed that her bond with films is deeply personal, saying, "Movies make me happy. I'm finding ways to stay connected to that magic in different ways now, not just as an actor. I'm also producing content. We're developing projects that will go on the floor next year, and I'm creatively involved in that process because I consider myself a creative producer. When it comes to my career, I've always gone by my instinct and gut."

During the interview, she also opened up about her upcoming film Love and War with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, also starring Ranbir Kapoor nd Vicky Kaushal. She shared, "It's a very special film. We've been shooting it throughout the year, and it never feels like enough. You always want one more day, one more moment, one more scene where you're just jamming the energy."

Further talking about working with Bhansali, Alia shared, "Working with Sanjay sir is one of my most treasured experiences because of the way he brings his magic to every single moment. But it's also deeply collaborative. The energy on set is very quiet and focused. We come in, we work hard, and everyone brings something different to the table. Of course, the final magic wand is always in Sanjay sir's hands. It is one of the most fulfilling creative experiences I've had on a film set."
