'Can't...misuse family connection': Mohit Suri on working with Alia, Emraan
What's the story
In a recent interview with Zoom, director Mohit Suri spoke highly of his cousins and actors Emraan Hashmi and Alia Bhatt. He also admitted that he hasn't yet delivered a script worthy of Bhatt's acting potential. "I haven't been able to deliver a script to her which is worth her acting potential," he said. "She is a fabulous actor...the role that I give her should live up to that and I have not reached that level."
Actor appreciation
'Feel doubly responsible with a script with them...': Suri
Suri further added, "I would work with Emraan Hashmi at the drop of a hat. Emraan, Alia, they are such talented actors." "I feel doubly responsible with a script with them... Unless there is a script or a role that is not good enough for them, I would never really misuse that equation." "I can't misuse the family connection. The level of actors they are, I would never want to cross that line."
Film promotion
