Alia Bhatt, who has been delivering one successful film after another, has made it to TIME’s ‘100 most influential people of 2024’ list. Alia made her Hollywood debut in 2023 with Heart of Stone and her director Tom Harper, who wrote for her in the magazine, described her as a “formidable talent” who is a “truly international star”.
Alia, who also owns many businesses, has been in the movies since 2012’s Student of the Year and Tom wrote that “despite her fame, on set she is self-effacing and funny”. He further mentioned, “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 favorite moments in the film came from an improvisation at the end of a take where she took the emotional thread and ran with it.”
Tom also wrote about Alia’s “superpower” as an actor and wrote, “Alia’s superpower is her ability to mix movie-star magnetism with authenticity and sensitivity. As an actor she is luminous, and as a person she brings the grounded assurance and creativity that make a truly international star.”

Alia Bhatt has been on a hit spree since 2022’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. The film released shortly after the pandemic restrictions were lifted in India and was one of the few successes of the year. After that, Alia was seen in Darlings and Brahmastra. While one film got her critical acclaim, as it released on Netflix, the other, which also starred her husband Ranbir Kapoor, got her commercial success. Last year, Alia was seen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani which fetched her many Best Actress awards. She also made her Hollywood debut with Heart of Stone, which saw her in a supporting role with Gal Gadot.
Alia will next be seen in Vasan Bala’s Jigra, which also stars Vedang Raina. She will also be leading a film in YRF’s ‘Spyverse’. Alia is also a part of Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zaraa, with Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif.
