What Alia said
Alia Bhatt recently took to her Instagram stories to wish her upcoming co-star, Sharvari, a happy birthday. Resharing a video of Sharvari playing the song Maskara on the piano from Main Vaapas Aaunga, Alia wrote, “Happy birthday star. Wishing you all the joy in the world and more.”
The two will share the screen in Shiv Rawail’s Alpha, the first female-led movie in the YRF Spy Universe. Produced by Aditya Chopra, the action film is scheduled for a July 3 release and stars Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor.
Sharvari has frequently praised Alia’s supportive nature. In a recent interview with Screen, she shared that Alia reached out to her the moment her upcoming film Main Vaapas Aaunga was revealed.
Recalling the text, Sharvari said, “She is a real cheerleader. I remember she messaged me right after Main Vaapas Aaunga was announced, saying, ‘I am so excited that you and Vedang are doing Imtiaz sir’s film at this time in your career. When you are exploring yourself, and you are new, the best director is Imtiaz sir; he will help you in this discovery.’ I didn’t understand what she meant then, but I do understand what she meant now.”
A memorable year for Sharvari
The birthday celebration comes at an important moment in Sharvari’s career. Main Vaapas Aaunga, directed by Imtiaz Ali, released in theatres on June 12. Set against the backdrop of Partition, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina and Sharvari in pivotal roles.
Looking ahead to Alpha
