In recent years, several Bollywood actresses have ventured into production business in order to have a better creative control over their films and Alia Bhatt is also one such actress. Her first production venture 'Darlings' is currently under production. For a long time, actresses were discouraged from becoming producers as it was believed that extra burden could distract them from their primary job.

However, Alia doesn't share this conservative sentiment. In a recent conversation with Film Companion, she said, "It is not a burden. You are recognising the potential of the script and at the end of the day you are putting it together and if I’m being a producer, I’m getting a percentage over the profits. It’s a great thing for me.”

She further added, "It’s not like I’m not going to make money. But for me it’s never been about the money. It’s actually about – If I have reached 10 years in the industry where I think I’m in a good position to support new work and new talent. It is not only about fuelling my engine but now use that fuel and fuel other engines as well.”

Sharing her vision of the future, Alia said, “I realised why can’t I be a part of the creative production process. It is not about line producing or bringing the finance. It is about putting a project creatively, holding the director or the writer’s hand and maybe not always starring in the film. That’s something I want to do. If you ask me my next 10-year plan, it is in building my production house.”
