After her laudable performance in 'Raazi', Alia Bhatt will now join hands with Bareilly Ki Barfi's director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. The actress has confirmed the collaboration to a leading tabloid. The actress said,"I am definitely going to do a film with Ashwiny because she is a fabulous director. The film is sort of confirmed, but I am not saying it myself, as there will be an official announcement soon."

Speaking about her choices of films like Raazi and Udta Punjab, Alia added, "They [Ashwiny and the film’s makers] have brought an extremely fun concept to me. I am very excited, as that’s going to be my breakaway film from all the serious ones [that I am doing]. Ab main ek lighthearted film karne waali hun."

Whereas hailed by the critics for her performance in Raazi, Alia said, "It was exhausting. But that's also why I chose it. There were days when I'd be thinking, 'Oh my god! Aj yeh scenes hai'! I had to build up strength and emotion. That feeling is scary. But it's also addictive. When you move past that feeling, you give your best. Whether it was during Udta Punjab, Dear Zindagi or Raazi. Coming back to the earlier question, I don't know if I identified with the girl. She's an extremely brave girl. I'm not saying I'm not brave. But I'm not that brave. I can't just drop everything."
