Alia Bhatt says first day of Heart of Stone shoot was awkward: "Acting in English suddenly felt a bit strange"

Alia Bhatt, who is basking in the success of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, will make her Hollywood debut in the Netflix movie Heart Of Stone. She will essay the role of antagonist Keya Dhawan in the action film starring Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan. The actress recently said that while the process of filmmaking was the same, it was kind of awkward on the first day of the shoot as she has to speak her lines in English instead of Hindi.

Alia Bhatt says first day of Heart of Stone shoot was awkward: “Acting in English suddenly felt a bit strange”

In a conversation with Toronto Sun, Alia said, “I have to say on day one, because I’m so used to speaking in Hindi, suddenly on day one speaking in English was weird. Even though I speak in English most of the time, acting in English suddenly felt a bit strange.”

Alia added, “But apart from that day one kind of awkwardness, I really really felt that it was the same. The process of a film set world over is exactly the same.”

In Heart of Stone, Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) appears to be an inexperienced tech, on an elite MI6 unit headed up by lead agent Parker (Jamie Dornan). What her MI6 team doesn't know is that Stone actually works for the Charter — a covert peacekeeping organization, secret even from other spies, which uses cutting-edge technology to neutralize global threats. Rachel has been trained to be the consummate professional: a phenomenal field agent who sticks to the mission, follows the numbers, and trusts no one. When a routine mission is derailed by mysterious hacker Keya Dhawan (Alia Bhatt), Rachel’s two lives collide. As she races to protect the Charter and strives to beat the odds, her humanity might just be her biggest asset.

Heart of Stone arrives on Netflix on August 11.
