The director of The Heart of Stone shared some interesting insights into his experience working with Alia Bhatt. He said, 'I met Alia on Heart of Stone, her English-language film debut. Despite her fame, on set, she is self-effacing and funny. There is a grace to the way she goes about her work: focused, open to ideas, and willing to take creative risks. One of my favourite moments in the film came from an improvisation at the end of a take where she took the emotional thread and ran with it.'
