Alia Bhatt’s Highway scene has become a holy grail for auditions. <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Aneet Padda has long been a fan of Alia Bhatt. Interestingly, her debut film, Saiyaara<\/a>, has some connections with Alia. Saiyaara is directed by Alia Bhatt\u2019s cousin, Mohit Suri. Moreover, Aneet Padda enacted Alia Bhatt\u2019s famous confrontation scene from Highway for her audition. Casting director Shanoo Sharma recently opened up about how Aneet was finalised for the film.<\/p>\n

Shanoo Sharma said, \u201cAneet, I contacted her when she was 19, for a part in Vijay 69. I saw her on a video call and was like, \u2018She\u2019s stunning. She\u2019s beautiful.\u2019 She was doing her whole college zone at that time. So she was like, \u2018Ma\u2019am, I really don\u2019t know if I can skip. I have exams.\u2019 I said, \u2018Okay, that\u2019s fine. But whenever you\u2019re done with college, come to me first.'”<\/p>\n

Shanoo added, \u201cI said, \u2018I want to work with you. I want to do something with you. Just come to me first.\u2019 Now, Nitya Mehra, she had seen her short film, which I hadn\u2019t. I hadn\u2019t seen any of Aneet\u2019s work. Nitya had taken her (for Big Girls Don\u2019t Cry), and I was unaware of this.”<\/p>\n

Aneet and Shanoo met when the actress came to Mumbai to promote Big Girls Don\u2019t Cry.\u00a0The popular casting director recalled, \u201cWe worked for two to three days, did photoshoots and everything. I gave her a scene, which is the bible scene, Highway. I gave her that scene and called a senior actor, Manish Wadhwa, to do it with her. We shot that, and I was like, \u2018I have gold. I have gold in my hand.\u2019 She blew my mind. She won me at hello.”<\/p>\n

Aneet Padda\u2019s Bollywood debut alongside Ahaan Panday in Saiyaara has taken the country by storm. Released on July 18, the film has crossed the Rs 500 crore mark at the box office and has emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Interestingly, soon after the film\u2019s release, Alia Bhatt asked Mohit Suri for Ahaan and Aneet\u2019s phone numbers so she could personally congratulate them. Next up, Aneet Padda will be seen in a courtroom drama titled Nyaya, which was filmed last year before she landed her role in Saiyaara.<\/p>\n
