On CTRL actress Ananya Panday being called the ‘upcoming Alia Bhatt’; ‘I guess what I can’t touch…’

Alia Bhatt has proven her mettle as a talented star and a talented artist, being the winner of the National Film Award for Best Actress. After driving the audience crazy with her acting in Bollywood, she stepped into Hollywood last year. Ananya Panday, on the other hand, is being praised for making good career choices and working towards becoming the next best actress in B-town. That’s why social media is comparing him with Bhatt. In a recent interview, the CTRL actor shared his two cents about it.

Ananya Panday and director Vikramaditya Motwane There was an interview with Filmygyan talking about their new movie, CTRL, which will be released on Netflix on October 4, 2024. This was when the host received a fan comment saying, “Ananya Panday is definitely the upcoming Alia Bhatt.” The Dream Girl 2 actress started by saying “No” when asked to share her two cents on the same coin. He later added: “I think Alia is very good. “It’s a huge compliment that people think that way, but I guess I could never touch what Alia has done.”

In an earlier interview to News 18, the filmmaker had defended Ananya being labeled a ‘nepo kid’ and being comfortable in the industry. “If you’re not good at your job, if you’re not talented, if you’re not working hard and if you’re not showing your potential on screen, nothing will matter because those are the only things that can make a person successful,” Motwane told the publication. He also added that Ananya did this based on her own strength. Moreover, people make a lot of generalizations about actors. According to him, the Kho Gaye Hum Kahan actor is a reader while Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is one of the biggest readers in the industry.

Ananya and Vikramaditya’s upcoming film CTRL also stars Vihaan Samat in the lead role. In his statement, the actor made statements about his characters and stated that he was stuck in a world dominated by technology and social media. In addition, CTRL explores how people navigate the fine line between their online presence and who they are in real life. Produced by Nikhil Dwivedi and Arya A Menon, the film’s screenplay has been written by Avinash Sampath and Vikramaditya Motwane.
