Los Angeles (IANS) American Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg
has promised that he won’t kill off actor Harrison Ford’s character in the
upcoming film “Indiana Jones V”.
Ford’s character Han Solo died in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” but
Spielberg has no such
intentions with his film,
reports hollywoodre-
porter.com.
“I think this one is
straight down the pike for
the fans. The one
thing I will tell you is I am
not killing off Harri-
son (Ford) at the end of it,”
Spielberg said.
Spielberg said that he
is “super excited” about the
fifth installment of the
“Indiana Jones” film series,
which is slated for a
July 19, 2019 release in the
US.
He is directing “Indiana Jones V” from a script by David Koepp (“Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” “Jurassic Park”). John Wil-
liams is expected to once again provide the music while Kathleen Ken-
nedy and Frank Marshall will serve as producers.
“I think each character is different for me, but I am a director’s actor. So if I get the
right vision and right guidance frommy director, I think sky is the limit for me,” Alia
told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
Even though she’s all of 23, there are no mincing words on critics’ part when it
comes to praising how well Alia slips into different roles with such an ease that it’s
tough to see any trace of her own personality on the silver screen.
The daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and yesteryear actress Soni Razdan be-
lieves that the process to get into the skin of the character differs with each film.
“It really depends on the film. For instance, for ‘Udta Punjab’ I had to prepare a lot
as there were a lot of things involved with regards to preparation -- like the dialect
and body language. And say for a film like ‘Highway’ I was just going with the flow
and by my director’s vision,” said the young talent, who hasn’t tried method acting
yet.
For her debut project “Student
of the Year” directed by Karan Jo-
har, Alia had to lose oodles of
weight. And her four- year-long
career has seen her deliver
laudable performances in films
like “Highway” “2 States”
“Humpty Sharma Ki Dulha-
nia” and “Kapoor and
Sons”
In “Udta Punjab” - which
Alia feels is “definitely the
most difficult film” of her
career -- she is seen as a
Bihari immigrant trying
to break away from the
shackles of the drug
menace in Punjab.
As part of her role, she
brings forward dreams of
a Bihari hockey cham-
pion, who leaves her
hometown in search of
fame and success, and gets
caught among drug ped-
dlers.
Asked if going de-glam for
the role was more difficult or
abusing on the camera, Alia
was quick to say: “None of them”.
“The toughest part was to
be this person who is nowhere
close to who I am, nowhere
close to who I think, no where
close to situations that I am
in my life,”she said.
“Physical appearance never
bothers me - it is the emo-
tional quotient which I hope
to understand, and fear that
I will not understand,”she
said.
She will be back in “Badri-
nath Ki Dulhania” after
which she has movies like
“Shuddhi” and director Gauri
Shinde’s untitled film in
her kitty.

Sky is the limit for me with right director: Alia Bhatt
It’s not about size of role in Hollywood, but experience
Actress Deepika Padukone, who is making her Hollywood debut
with “xXx: The Return of Xander Cage”, says it is not about the size
of the role, but the experience that makes it worthwhile.
This is not a thank you for a num-
ber 20 million that we have reached.
Actually this is a thank you to tell you
that you
help me with so many issues of life,
which happen to me”
