Alia Bhatt takes on the role of the corrupt antagonist in Heart of Stone
Netflix’s upcoming international spy thriller marks a significant step for Alia Bhatt, who will be seen embarking on a deceptive yet perilous journey to steal the Heart in Heart of Stone.
The full trailer for the movie was released on June 17, 2023, at the Tudum Global Fan event in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The short clip featured the mysterious character Bhatt will be seen playing in the film. Keya Dhawan, the hacker, and thief, said in the trailer:
“You think you know everything but the world is about to see the truth.”
Heart of Stone revolves around Agent Rachel Stone who turns out to be a key member of the Charter – an organisation that steps in when world peace is in danger. The titular MacGuffin, primarily known as the Heart, is the world’s most powerful AI that is capable of tracking anyone and predicting their future.
Alia Bhatt’s Keya Dhawan can be seen keeping Agent Stone and Parker, played by Jamie Dornan, on their toes as she hacks into the system and steals the Heart. The trailer shows an agitated Gal Gadot’s Agent Stone threatening Bhatt’s Keya Dhawan saying:
“Heart or no heart, I am coming for you.”
Bhatt recently spoke about her experience shooting for the film, which will mark her first Hollywood movie. She mentioned that she had to navigate through several layers as she was also pregnant at the time.
“It was my first Hollywood big English picture experience and I had quite a task at hand because I was shooting for the first time an action movie. But I’m also pregnant so there were so many layers for me to deal with. But they made it so seamless and so easy and so comfortable for me. It’s something that I will never forget because of how beautifully and how well I was treated,” she said.
