Alia Bhatt wants to do an out-and-out comedy next. She elaborates, `You know the kind where pies fly across the room, cakes go into people's faces, people slip on banana peels...yes, slapstick comedy. I want one of those in my career now.`

Alia, who comes off some serious, contemplative roles in films like Udta Punjab and Dear Zindagi, feels the time is right to have some fun.

It ain't easy
`People feel it's very easy to do comedy on screen. It is not! I think it's the most difficult genre. I'd like to give it a genuine try,` says Alia.

She admires Sridevi's comic timing and feels getting it right is very important. `For the audience to enjoy the humour, the actor attempting comedy must first enjoy herself to the fullest. I plan to have a ball,` she says.
