After ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ Alia Bhatt, is now preparing for ‘Calling Sehmat’ with Meghna Gulzar, followed by Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Dragon’ with Ranbir Kapoor, and Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Gully Boy‘ opposite Ranveer Singh. She talks about her upcoming films. Read on here..

So many Hindi superhero films in recent films. What sets it apart?
It’s not a predictable story. All I can tell you is that Dragon is a unique story about love, mixed with a lot of power. It’s too early to reveal who has what superpower. But, it’s not a thriller. I don’t know if we have seen anything like Dragon ever before. That’s the beauty of the film.

How about taking up an out and out action role?
I would totally love to do an action film where I get to kick butt. Dragon isn’t that film but maybe, a more fantasized version of it.

Is it true that Dragon will be a three-part series spread over the next 10 years?
Yes, we plan to make it as a three-part series.
About the span of 10 years, only Ayan can talk about it. If that’s what he has said, then maybe that’s the plan.

Tell us more about your film with Ranveer Singh — Gully Boy?
Ranveer is a complete crackpot. I have worked with him in ads, and I think I have an idea about what shooting is going to be like. I’m excited because Gully Boy is an emotional story, and our characters are very interesting, so it will be a unique combination. I have always wanted to work with Zoya (Akhtar), who I think is absolutely fab. This year, I am working with two actors and two directors who I’ve always wanted to work with.
