Actress Alia Bhatt says she would love to play Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence’s character in the Oscar-winning film Silver Linings Playbook as she finds the role “brilliant”.
Bhatt spoke about opportunities in Hollywood, saying: “I love her [Jennifer Lawrence] and I relate a lot to her for some reason. I feel like we are pretty similar and she is a fabulous actress as well. But the only difference is which is what I wish, I think it’s changing here and I feel like we are moving in a space where content is really becoming the focus of all our attention.”
She continued: “At least out there, there is a lot of respect and love given to writers and just writing, which we are still waking up to over here so that’s the only thing I would want maybe that just more respect for the writers so they feel motivated because eventually it’s all in the writing.”
“And of course the directing but eventually that’s your raw material. So better opportunities I don’t know but yes definitely I’ve seen characters like I would’ve loved to play. [I saw] Jennifer Lawrence’s character in the Silver Linings Playbook and I was like that’s such a brilliant character to play but maybe someday, hopefully,” Bhatt added.
