The young budding actress of the student of the year fame, Alia Bhatt,
had bagged her second role in the film industry, in Imtiaz Ali’s
‘Highway’ opposite actor Randeep Hooda ,which is set to release in a
couple of months. The makers of the movie have however brought out a new
concept of narrating to the audience the ‘behind the scenes’ of the
film by introducing episodes called ‘Highway Diaries.’The movie
‘Highway’ is all about an ongoing journey and by introducing the highway
dairies, the makers intend to bring out the fun moments and incidents
that
occurred during
the making of the movie. Each of the episodes will
last for 1 or 2 minutes in which the various crew members would talk
about their experiences, emotions and memories associated with the
movie. The first episode which released recently begins with the lead
actress, Alia Bhatt dressed as a sardar, in which, we must agree, she is
looking extremely cute. The episode then proceeds with the line
producer who comes from Punjab talking about his experience working with
director Imtiaz and the entire team of ‘Highway’. Every journey on the
highway is packed with a lot of stories and through the highway diaries
the makers want the audience to know completely the heart and soul of
the movie through the reminiscence about the shooting days by the cast
and crew. It has been planned that about 18 to 20 such episodes would be
released across the next few months at fixed times.
Imtiaz Ali who is one of the most talented filmmakers of Bollywood is
known for giving entertainment packed movies like ‘Jab we met’ and ‘Love
aaj kal’ in the past. And with ‘Highway’, Imtiaz agrees that the whole
team had to face a lot of challenges and problems while shooting at
outdoor locations, but the film itself has been inspired a lot by its
making which means that not only the movie but also the entire journey
is very important to him. And so, ‘Highway diaries’ is an attempt to
share that with the audience.
