After
teaming
up
with
the
likes
of
Karan
Johar
and
Imtiaz
Ali,
Alia
Bhatt
wants
to
work
with
Rohit
Shetty,
known
for
churning
out
hit
potboilers
such
as
Singham
and
Chennai
Express.
After
making
a
start
with
out
and
out
commercial
film
Student
of
The
Year,
Alia
turned
to
Ali
and
Abhishek
Verman
for
Highway
and
2
States
respectively
and
both
the
films
gave
her
ample
opportunity
to
prove
her
versatility.
The
roles
in
both
the
films
were
as
different
as
chalk
and
cheese
and
the
21-year-old
passed
with
flying
colours,
thanks
to
her
spontaneity,
naturalness
and
ease
in
front
of
the
camera.
Talking
about
the
choices
she
makes,
Alia
said,
"I
just
don't
want
to
be
a
love
interest
in
a
film,
I
should
have
that
equal
effect.
I
don't
want
to
be
just
standing
over
there
in
one
frame
I
can't
do
that.
That
does
not
mean
I
don't
want
to
do
commercial
films."
While
pursuing
meaty
roles,
she
is
equally
interested
in
typical
commercial
cinema.
"I
want
to
do
all
the
commercial
films.
I
want
to
work
with
Rohit
Shetty...
(Okay
with)
full
comedy
and
action,
but
a
good
role," Alia
told
reporters
in
a
group
interview.
Alia
watches
all
the
films
of
her
competitors.
"Yes,
I
do
watch
all
the
films
of
my
competitors,
but
not
because
I
am
competing
with
them.
I
like
watching
films.
I
am
a
moviegoer,
so
I
make
it
a
point
to
watch
all
the
films."
Her
contemporaries
and
competitors
are
Parineeti
Chopra
and
Shraddha
Kapoor.
After
three
hits,
Alia
is
busy
promoting
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania
(HSKD).
"HSKD
is
an
out
and
out
love
story.
The
last
love
story
was
'Jab
We
Met'.
There
has
been
many
romantic-comedy,
but
not
a
typical
love
story
whereas
'HSDK'
is
all
an
all
love
story
and
in
a
modern
way
fits
in
2014
idea
of
love
rather
than
what
was
15
years
ago."

Khaitan,
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania
has
Alia
romancing
Varun
Dhawan.
