In one of the recent promotional outings for their film ‘Jigra’, Alia Bhatt showered praises on her on-screen brother Vedang Raina and shared that the two-film-old actor is a lot like her ‘Gully Boy’ co-star Ranveer Singh.

Praising the newbie, Bhatt said, “Vedang is fabulous. He is amazing. I don’t think he knows how amazing he is.”

“I told him when we did a very important scene, where he was crying, that one good thing is that you cry prettily and it’s a good thing for a Hindi film hero,” she added. “He is so hardworking. He is also very instinctive but also has some sort of prep. He reminded me a lot of Ranveer Singh and I told him this as well. Just the way he is and his dedication. I think it is a huge compliment. The dedication and focus to the moment and the shot. Of course, he is his own person.”

“He sings so beautifully. Vasan [Bala] and I would discuss this all the time that he is actually an old soul. I mean I would think I am an old soul but quite on the contrary, Vedang who is younger than me, is like 60! His soul is very deep-rooted and centred. He has a lot of depth in him, which I think will take him really far,” detailed the ‘Gangubai Kathiwadi’ actor about ‘The Archies’ debutante.
