Alia Bhatt in a still from Udta Punjab
Mumbai:
Actress Alia Bhatt, who plays a migrant Bihari labourer in Abhishek Chaubey's film Udta Punjab, said that she was avoided on the sets of the film as she was unrecognizable in her look.
"When we started shooting, I walked on to the sets and I was avoided by all. Nobody realised that it was me. Suddenly when I spoke to (Abhishek) Chaubey, everybody realised and took five steps back. They felt they had made a blunder," said Alia at an event to launch the song Ikk Kudi from the film.
Composed by Amit Trivedi, Ikk Kudi is a slow Punjabi song that directly touches the heart. The video of the track shows Alia, who plays an aspiring hockey player, striving to get her first chance to display her talent and how she eventually gets one.
Talking about her character, Alia said: "If a character is angry or upset or distraught, Alia doesn't have anything to do with it because it is the character. I am comfortable doing whatever my character wants me to do."
Udta Punjab also stars Shahid Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Phantom Productions, it is set to release on June 17.
