EXCLUSIVE: Parvathy wants Alia Bhatt to play her character in the Bollywood remake of Bangalore Days
Parvathy thinks Alia Bhatt would be apt to play RJ Sarah in Bangalore Days.
In 2014, came a movie titled Bangalore Days which was a coming of age romantic drama. The movie which has become the younger generations' go-to Malayalam film had a star-studded cast comprising of Dulquer Salmaan, Nazriya Nazim, Nivin Pauly, Fahadh Faasil, Isha Talwar, Parvathy and Nithya Menon.
In a tête-à-tête with Pinkvilla, while promoting her Bollywood debut movie Qarib Qarib Singlle, we asked Parvathy if she would like to be a part of the Hindi remake of Bangalore Days if it was made.
To this, Parvathy replied, "I wouldn't play it because I already did the remake of that in Tamil and I realised I should never do a remake of a character I have done because I was bored, very honestly."
When we quizzed her further on who would she like to see from Bollywood play her character, RJ Sarah, the actress revealed, "In Bollywood as of now who can play Sarah with the integrity that Anjali Menon (Director of Bangalore Days) would have wanted, I would say Alia Bhatt. It was already stuck... I thought Alia and then I was like, 'Okay, that's the first thing and now let me look for others.' But no, I think it's simple. It's Alia."

Meanwhile, when asked about the difference between shooting for a regional movie and a Bollywood film, Parvathy said, "I've only done one Bollywood film so I don't know with other directors, how it's going to be. With Tanuja, the intention of filmmaking was very pure. There was integrity in it and that's what I liked is that, it never felt like it was Bollywood. I mean, Bollywood is there, the film industry is thriving and it's huge and it's everywhere. Anytime, I travel abroad and I say I'm an actor from India, they're like, 'Oh, Bollywood!' And I say, 'Umm, not yet!'(laughs) I would say that it's great to be here. It's great to now understand what's actually happening behind-the-scenes but filmmaking at the end of the day, in front of the camera, I have to do things exactly as genuine as I do in any other regional language. There's no discounting or there's no adding."
Directed by Tanuja Chandra, Qarib Qarib Singlle also stars Irrfan Khan and is slated to release on November 10, 2017.
