Renowned Bollywood actress, Alia Bhatt, recently made her Hollywood Debut in the Netflix spy thriller, "Heart of Stone." Bhatt plays Keya Dhawan, a brilliant computer hacker out to steal advanced artificial intelligence. The film also stars Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan.
Praising Bhatt's performance in the film, director Tom Harper told Screen Rant, “Alia is just a great example of someone who's a ferocious talent, who's luminous, and charismatic, and has everything that you want from a movie star, but, she's a real artist as well. She does have a huge body of work behind her, she's been an actor for a very long time, and really honed her skills."
Commenting on her portrayal of Keya, Harper added, "That character was always Indian, but she brought that authenticity, and she was able to bring that nuance to the character. She had lots of ideas about where Dhawan was from, and what her upbringing might be like, and things that she might say, and she wouldn't say."
Heart of Stone marks Bhatt's first venture outside of starring in a variety of Indian-based projects, including the record-breaking Telugu action drama RRR and fantasy adventure trilogy launcher Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva. Her latest Bollywood film, Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahani,a romantic comedy,directed by Karan Johar did well at the box office.
