Randeep Hooda and Alia Bhatt hit the highway with Imtiaz Ali

With his last two films being shot in Delhi, it seems Imtiaz Ali has a fascination for the city. Now, the director is back shooting on real locations in the capital for his next, Highway, with Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda.

Says Imtiaz, "Highway is a story that has been in my heart for years. I've been waiting to get into it. When AR Rahman agreed to join me on this journey, I felt blessed. This movie needs him more than ever before. We also have an ideal cast — Alia and Randeep — and an ideal crew. The journey has begun and it will be some experience together."

AR Rahman, who's composing the music, says, "It's a highway journey this time, with the same good company of Imtiaz and lyricist Irshad Kamil."

Presenter Sajid Nadiadwala is kicked about the team. He says, "The film will be an all-new musical experience for AR Rahman fans and who better than Imtiaz to bring them to life on screen. I am delighted to present the film."
