“Alia performed quite challenging scenes in the movie. She would be trembling before you say action but the moment camera rolls, you see the performer in her taking over everything. She has raised the bar in acting for herself, ” Meghna told IANS over e-mail.
The daughter of veteran lyricist-poet Gulzar, Meghna, who showed the India-Pakistan spy drama against the backdrop of the 1971 war through the film, admitted that Alia was her first choice for Sehmat and she could not see anyone except Alia playing the role.
“I could not see anyone else play this part. If she (Alia) had not done the film, I dont think I would have made it. Alias vulnerability, fragility fitted the character which I imagined. I am grateful for the belief she had put into the character and brought it to life.”
