Highway – Alia Bhatt – Randeep Hooda – Imtiaz Ali
Presented by Sajid Nadiadwala and starring Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda, the film traverses six states of India and captures the landscape of the different regions as it goes along.
Shooting for Imtiaz All’s Highway has taken Alia Bhatt to several places in north India, be it Kashmir or Punjab.
Rajasthan also plays an important role in the film. One of the places the film’s crew set up, their shoot was a salt factory in Sambhar (Jaipur). Born and brought up in a city like Mumbai, the world of Sambhar, where anything and everything has over a pinch of salt, was a revelation for Alia. “Highway took me to all these amazing places that I probably wouldn’t have ever seen otherwise. Sambhar, the salt factory was the most beautiful and the weirdest experience for me. I celebrated my birthday there as well… in many ways, I think it was here that I truly started feeling like Veera (her character in the film),” says Alia.
