There’s a refreshing maturity to Alaya F., a trait that hasn’t been diluted by the machinery that seeks to control what celebrities say and think. But it wasn’t always that way with the 26-year-old. Now six films old, with her latest release being Srikanth, which spotlights the incredible true story of Srikanth Bolla, a visually-impaired industrialist and the founder of Bollant Industries, and stars Rajkummar Rao in the titular role, Alaya believes she’s coming into her own. “I’ve evolved as an actor. I want to think that I’m a director’s actor, so with the kind of synergy that develops between me and a director, I am steadily pushed to grow and challenge myself. I love being on sets where I’m challenged and pushed and feel like I’m levelling up,” she says.
