Amid the massive buzz around Dhurandhar's success, Alia Bhatt has found herself at the centre of a fresh online storm.
The actor is being accused by social media users of lobbying for Ranveer Singh's upcoming zombie film Pralay. The chatter picked up quickly after reports claimed she was being considered for a key role in the film. Since then, the debate has only grown louder.
While no official confirmation has been made, the claims have sparked strong reactions online. Fans and critics are now split, with many questioning Alia's repeated association with big post-success projects.
Is Alia Bhatt Being Considered For Ranveer Singh Starrer Pralay?
The controversy began after a Midday report suggested that Alia Bhatt is the top choice for the female lead in Pralay. The film stars Ranveer Singh and is directed by Jai Mehta. According to the report, the character is not a typical romantic role.
A source told the publication, "The female lead is central to the narrative. She isn't introduced as a love interest. She challenges the hero's ideas in a collapsing world. Who could wield that power better than Bhatt? She brings credibility. In a film this experimental, you need powerhouses and actors the audience's trust.”
The source also added, "The world (Pralay) is harsh, resources are scarce, and every character is pushed to moral breaking points. This is not a glossy zombie film.”
As soon as this report surfaced, it went viral. Social media platforms were flooded with sharp opinions. Many users were not convinced by the casting buzz.
Reddit Users Accuse Alia Bhatt Of Lobbying
A Reddit user shared the report and wrote, “Alia Bhatt now lobbying for Ranveer’s next film after Dhurandhar’s success! Any actor or director gives a successful film, suddenly their next film is with Alia. Nag Ashwin’s next after Kalki success, Maddock’s next after stree success, YRF spy film after Pathaan success. She would also want to do a film with Aditiya Dhar, but their political ideologies won’t match!"
