Alia Bhatt, touted as one of the most sought-after young actors in Bollywood, says she was "never confident" of being part of two eminent filmmakers Sanjay Leela Bhansali and S S Rajamouli's films.

Alia feels overwhelmed to be directed by two renowned directors Bhansali and Rajamouli in "Inshallah" and "RRR" respectively. She finds both of them similar, when it comes to their passion for cinema.

"For me the bigness, the high is to be working with these two directors. There is a similarity between them, I think they are both obsessed with their films.

"They have got such a clear vision with what they do. They are so creative, it is all artistic. I was never too confident that I will be part of either of their films," Alia told PTI.

It was a long wait for Alia, who had auditioned for Bhansali's 2005 movie "Black" at the age of nine, but was rejected.

She adds, "I was hoping for many years to work with him. When one day news came up that he is doing a film I was like why isn't he coming to me. When he did come to me, I was over the moon."
"He has a certain idea and vision for this film and he will put it out there in front of the world. Till then we should not say much. This film is lovely in every aspect -- be it the story or the world that he is creating."
"He said he was anyway talking about my timelines. So I told him whatever be the timelines, I will make it happen. We made it happen."
