Alia Bhatt may play the first woman amputee-mountaineer in this film

Since her Bollywood debut with Student of the Year, Alia Bhatt has made some very interesting choices in terms of her role selections. From playing Sehmat, a spy, in Raazi to the fiery Safeena in Gully Boy, this actor is a pro at swinging between roles effortlessly. Now, rumour has it Bhatt has taken up yet another unconventional role. With a handful of films on the way to being released already, Alia Bhatt may now also step into the shoes of Arunima Sinha, the first female amputee to scale both, Mount Everest and Mount Vinson.

Titled Born Again On The Mountain: A Story of Losing Everything And Finding It Back, the movie will be based on the life of Sinha and is also written by her. According to reports, Bhatt will be gaining weight for her new role and undergoing training for the special scenes that will be shot at real locations. Although Bhatt has waved a green flag for the role, the scripts and dates of the film are still being worked on, keeping the star’s packed work schedule in mind. Vivek Rangachari of Dar Motion Pictures, and Karan Johar of Dharma Productions are said to bankroll this project collaboratively.

Besides celebrating the roaring success of her latest project Gully Boy, Bhatt has just wrapped up shooting for her period film Kalank, alongside Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Sanjay Dutt. She is now focusing on Ayan Mukherjee’s Brahmastra, which will see her opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, which will hit theatres in December 2019. The actor is also prepping to work with her father Mahesh Bhatt for the very first time in Sadak 2.
