Cinema bigwigs Jr NTR, Alia Bhatt, and Karan Johar sat down for a power-packed panel discussion dubbed `Devara Ka Jigra`. In the 45-minute episode, Alia heaped praise on her co-star Vedang Raina. She recalled calling him a pretty crier in the emotional scenes and how his hard work and dedication reminded her of Ranveer Singh.
She said, “We didn’t have much time to get into it, sort of take the bull by its horns immediately. We had many things to do on Day 1. Vedang is fabulous. He is amazing; I don’t think he knows how amazing he is. I remember when we were doing an emotional scene, I told him, ‘You cry very prettily,’ which is a very good thing for a Hindi film hero. He is very hardworking and instinctive. He reminded me a lot of Ranveer Singh because of his dedication and focus at the moment of the shot. He is an old soul. He’s got a lot of depth which will take him very far when it comes to drama.”
