Mahesh Bhatt spoke about the importance of Alia Bhatt’s stint at Met Gala and how it would help her before she made her Hollywood debut.
Alia Bhatt recently made her grand Met Gala debut this year. The actress made heads turn on the red carpet in a voluminous white gown with pearls designed by Prabal Gurung. She looked no less than a dreamy vision to behold in the same. Now her father and director Mahesh Bhatt has come forward to emphasize how an opportunity like this will aid her daughter in being more visible at International platforms.
During an interview with ETimes, Mahesh Bhatt explained that her appearance at Met Gala will serve as a precursor to her big Hollywood debut that is all set to release towards the end of this year. He said, ‘I see Alia’s visit to the Met Gala event as a precursor to the release of Heart of Stone which is a Netflix-priced asset that they are releasing somewhere towards the end of this year. So, I think this kind of sets the mood for her to be more visible in that landscape and then slowly build up from there.”
He further elaborated, “Cannes and Met Gala are prestigious events and the world keeps its eyes on these events. The international upmarket, glamor brands look for a face to represent them in our country, which has got a huge population and a growing sizeable upper middle class that has an appetite for products manufactured by these labels. I think that is also one of the possible targets that Alia may be having to strike.”
