Ever
since
the
first
look
of
Alia
Bhatt
as
a
Bihari
migrant
from
Udta
Punjab
has
been
released,
there
have
been
varied
opinion.
Recently,
actress
Neetu
Chandra,
who
hails
from
Bihar,
had
penned
an
open
letter
to
the
film's
director
Abhishek
Chaubey
and
Alia
for
the
way
people
of
the
state
have
been
portrayed
in
the
movie.
When
Alia
was
asked
about
her
opinion
on
the
open
letter,
she
rather
gave
a
sensible
reply
and
said
something
like
this:
"Anybody
who
makes
assumptions
on
what
we
see
on
the
trailer,
it
is
better
for
us
to
keep
quiet
and
not
say
anything
because
whatever
people
are
assuming,
especially
the
person
in
question
over
here,
is
assuming
from
the
trailer,
which
could
also
possibly
not
true."
Can
You
Recognize
Alia
In
These
10
Stills
Of
Udta
Punjab?
"We
always
make
assumptions
before
we
really
see
the
full
final
project.
Trailer
is
just
a
hint,
film
is
the
real
content.
So
if
after
seeing
the
film
if
people
have
the
same
problem
then
it
is
correct
to
justify.
Before
that,
we
have
to
just
wait," added
Alia.
Alia,
23,
will
be
seen
in
a
completely
deglam
avatar
as
a
migrant
Bihari
labourer,
who
is
a
hockey
player,
in
director
Abhishek
Chaubey's
Udta
Punjab.
Talking
about
the
preparation
for
her
character
at
the
launch
of
Ikk
Kudi
song
from
Udta
Punjab,
she
told,
"It
was
hectic
and
physically
very
demanding
kind
of
a
film.
I
had
to
push
myself
despite
the
injuries
I
had."
"I
trained
for
hockey
before
starting
the
film.
One
would
need
to
have
a
lot
of
years
of
practice
to
pull
that
off
convincingly,"
added
Alia.
The
film
also
stars
Shahid
Kapoor,
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
and
Punjabi
actor
Diljit
Dosanjh.
It
is
scheduled
to
release
on
June
17.
