Mumbai: Alia Bhatt seems to be in awe of Jennifer Lawrence as the Bollywood actress has expressed keen desire to essay her Hollywood contemporary's character from the Oscar-winning film 'Silver Linings Playbook'.

Alia opined on Hollywood and its opportunities and more during a conversation on audio show "Take 2 with Anupama and Rajeev" on Saavn.

"It's funny that you mentioned Jennifer Lawrence, but I love her and I relate a lot to her for some reason. I feel like we are pretty similar and she is a fabulous actress as well. But the only difference is which is what I wish, I think it's changing here and I feel like we are moving in a space where content is really becoming the focus of all our attention," Alia said.

"At least out there, there is a lot of respect and love given to writers and just writing which we are still waking up to over here so that's the only thing I would want maybe that just more respect for the writers so they feel motivated because eventually it's all in the writing.
