Alia Bhatt’s Next Big Move: A College Drama with New Faces and Real Stories
Alia Bhatt is balancing her acting commitments with an expanding production slate. While shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, she is also building on her production house‘s storytelling momentum. After the gripping eco-thriller Poacher, her decision to produce a college-set drama shows her versatility as a creative force behind the camera.
This web series is set against the vibrant and emotionally charged backdrop of an Indian college. It is a setting ripe for stories about friendship, identity, and the uncertainty of growing up. Alia’s commitment to authenticity extends to casting. The actress-producer is keen on launching four relatable, fresh-faced newcomers to headline the show.
The young adult genre is booming across streaming platforms, and Alia seems to have a keen understanding of what works. By grounding the narrative in everyday college experiences and emotional depth, the series has potential. It could join the ranks of popular youth shows like Kota Factory and Mismatched—but with a more cinematic touch.
With upcoming films like Alpha and Love & War, Alia continues to dominate the silver screen. However, it’s her behind-the-scenes efforts as a producer that show her commitment to shaping India’s entertainment landscape. She empowers new voices and explores diverse themes.
Alia Bhatt’s foray into young adult content with Amazon Prime Video is more than a production move. It’s a bold step toward elevating fresh talent and real stories in Indian OTT entertainment.
“She is certain that the chosen faces should be real-life 20-somethings, whom the audience can relate to.”
