It's been a great year for actress Alia Bhatt, who turned 26 today. She won critical acclaim with Raazi and Gully Boy, and will soon be seen in the ambitious multi-starrer projects like Kalank and Brahmastra. The cherry on her birthday cake came in the form of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR, which will mark the Tamil debut of Alia. The actress is over the moon to be part of this big-budgeted project.
It's definitely celebration time for the actress, who cut three cakes and rang in her birthday with friends Anushka and Akanksha Ranjan and Masaba Gupta and parents Soni Razdan and Mahesh Bhatt, among few others, last night.

Photograph, a film about Rafi (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) a street photographer, one of the many migrants who come to the city from Uttar Pradesh in search of a livelihood and Miloni (Sanya Malhotra), a Gujarati girl, is one such. In a particularly clever stroke, Batra infuses his story with subtle humour created by Rafi’s friends and his dadi.
