Sudden transition to full English in ‘Heart of Stone’ was weird: Alia Bhatt

 Actor Alia Bhatt has now finally made her transition from Bollywood to Hollywood with her new spy-thriller-action film 'Heart of Stone', where she stars alongside popular Israeli actress Gal Gadot.

Speaking about her transition, Alia said that suddenly doing a movie in full English language was a bit weird for her, but overall it was a great experience for her. In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Alia was asked about her transition where she said: "You know it was a bit awkward for me speaking in English all time, because I'm so used to speaking in Hindi even though I use English half the time, suddenly acting in English was a bit weird."

"But apart from that, day one… kind of awkwardness, I really really felt that it was the same. The process of a film set world over is exactly the same," she added.

Talking about filming the action, Gal Gadot, who plays the role of Rachel Stone, said: "It took months of prep time, different workouts and training. But we all knew what was gonna be the case. You know it is such an intense action packed film that we knew we were going to have to be as prepped as possible (sic)."

Gadot, who serves as producer, said that she really wanted to make this film.

"After the success of 'Wonder Woman', I realised that there was a lot more space for female led movies in the action genre and we just went for it. We realised that there was an audience for these types of movies, and as long as you create a story which has all the elements with a good balance, then it has the potential to be a success," she said.

Talking about entering the spy-genre given its popularity, Gadot said: "I think, first of all, I'm a big fan of this genre, 'Bond', 'Mission Impossible', 'Bourne Identity', 'Die Hard', all these films. I love them."

"I love the suspense, the twists and turns, the drama, the scope, everything about them. I love getting into a movie and going through a journey, and feeling like I've been all around the world and come back, closer than being delivered or in the theater," she added. 'Heart of Stone' is a Netflix film directed by Tom Harper and will begin streaming on August 11, 2023. (IANS)
