EXCLUSIVE: Alaya F shares her views on being a director; says ‘direction requires delegating a lot of things but I am a control freak’

Jawaani Jaaneman actress Alaya F will be next starring in films U Turn and Freddy. Alaya opened up about her views on directing a film in future. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, when asked about if the audience will ever see Alaya in director’s chair, the actress replied, “Maybe. Actually I left direction because I realized I really am a control freak. And in Direction you have to delegate a lot of things whereas in acting I just have to mind my part. Like I just have to do my scene and focus on myself.”

She added, “In acting I didn’t have to give notes to somebody else. Of course I am not going to tell director sir how to direct the scene. I will give my input but that will only be about me because that’s my job, I am just supposed to be in charge of my character. But in direction, you have to delegate a lot. And since I am very specific and I know what exactly I want in a video or if I ever become a director, then I know specifically what I want in a scene and it can happen that the team won’t be able to execute it in a way I wanted it to and that will just be very stressful for me.”

Alaya also talked about her journey so far and her family. She says that in her family she was allowed to do mistakes and that she never got shamed for making mistakes. She further talks about importance of mental health for artists. She also talked about films U-Turn and Freddy. She revealed that U Turn heavily rests on her shoulders and Kartik has outdone himself as an actor in Freddy.

Freddy is being helmed by director Shashank Ghosh and will be released next year. On the other hand, U Turn is the Hindi remake of 2018 Kannada blockbuster thriller of the same name. the movie was also remade in Telugu in 2018 with Samantha Akkineni in the main role. The film also has Bengali, Malayalam and Tamil version. Debutante director Arif Khan, who has assisted on over 10 films, including Gunjan Saxena, 2 States, Student of the Year amongst others, is directing the film.
