Alia Bhatt: If Highway gets an opening it would be because of Imtiaz Ali and not me!

Alia Bhatt is just one film old and she has already worked with two talented filmmakers -- Karan Johar and Imtiaz Ali.

While this B-town beauty played a glamourous role in KJo's Student of The Year, in Imtiaz Ali's Highway Alia will be seen in a completely different avatar. Bhatt is visibly excited about this "I was obviously excited and happy coz you don't get a chance to work with Imtiaz in your second film itself. So I am grateful that I got to do this film."

When asked if she sees herself as the hero of the film, Alia is quip "I think Imtiaz is the hero of Highway. I am just a catalyst."

She also shared with us the difficulties she faced while shooting. "While shooting the film we dealt with every kind of weather -- snow, rain and even sandstorm. So that was thrilling. Yes, mentally, emotionally and physically it was tiring."

It all will be worthwhile we are sure if the effort translates to big box office numbers. But Bhatt said she isn't interested in numbers. "I don't think this film is about opening. This is more of a word-of-mouth film and even if Highway gets an opening it won't be because of me but Imtiaz."

We wish Alia our best for HIghway. The film releases ont he 21st February.
