On Tuesday, Alia Bhatt—who is now occupied with marketing her movie Jigra—travelled to Hyderabad. On social media, the actor from the event appeared in a number of videos and photos. The actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu was also present at the event.A video from the event showed Alia singing Oo Antava. In the 2021 movie Pushpa: The Rise, Samantha and Allu Arjun performed the original song. Samantha smiled at her from her seat next to Alia as she performed the song and giggled.
As the audience applauded her, Samantha gave her a hug after she completed her song. In the clip, the host of the event called Alia “such a sweetheart”. It was heard that the actor said, “Hopefully this will be the last time.” Rana Daggubati and Vedang Raina were also present at the function. For the event, Alia Bhatt chose a black dress.
In a video, Alia was heard saying, “My dearest Samantha, you are a hero on and off-screen. I have so much admiration for your talent, for your resilience, for your strength. It’s not easy to be a woman in a man’s world, but you have surpassed gender. You stand tall on your two feet, and you have your talent, and your strong kicks to be an example for everyone.” She also revealed how Samantha took just 6.5 seconds to accept the invite to the event.
The event was graced by director Trivikram Srinivas. Alia asked Trivikram Srinivas to cast her and Samantha together in a film. “And over here on this stage, not doing this for promotion, I genuinely mean it. Trivikram sir I think Samantha and I should be in a film written and directed by you. They say usually actresses compete with each other and all of that. But there’s no such thing. I am so, so grateful that today I have a pan India superstar here to support my film and say such kind words for my film,” she added.
