Alia Bhatt and Dev Patel Make Time’s 100 Most Influential People List
Two shining stars from South Asian cinema, Indian actress Alia Bhatt and British-Indian actor Dev Patel, have secured a coveted spot on Time magazine’s prestigious “100 Most Influential People of 2024” list. This recognition not only showcases the global impact of Indian actors but also highlights the immense talent they bring to the world stage.
Alia Bhatt’s Rising Stardom
Alia Bhatt, a renowned name in Indian households, has been steadily establishing herself as a leading actress with critically acclaimed performances and massive audience popularity. Her remarkable dedication and talent have not gone unnoticed on the international scene. Tom Harper, the director of her Hollywood debut film Heart of Stone, penned a glowing tribute for the magazine.
Harper described Bhatt as a focused and collaborative artist, applauding her willingness to take creative risks. He expressed, “Despite her fame, on set she is self-effacing and funny. There is a grace to the way she goes about her work: focused, open to ideas, and willing to take creative risks. One of my favourite moments in the film came from an improvisation at the end of a take where she took the emotional thread and ran with it.” Harper concluded by praising Bhatt as an “international star” whose magnetism resonates globally.
Dev Patel’s Artistic Journey
Dev Patel, who recently made his directorial debut with Monkey Man, also finds himself on the TIME 100 list. Actor Daniel Kaluuya, Patel’s co-star in the British teen drama Skins, penned a heartfelt tribute reflecting on their shared journey.
Kaluuya reminisced about their early days filled with youthful enthusiasm and the joy of pursuing their acting dreams. He shared, “After Slumdog Millionaire, I went from getting food with him in Wetherspoons to watching him at the Golden Globes, within a month—and he still checked in when he got back.” Kaluuya specifically praised Patel’s performance in Monkey Man, highlighting his ability to portray complex characters with depth and evoke empathy from viewers.
