Nag Ashwin is working on a script and it would suit Alia. Alia is said to be excited to work with Nag Ashwin and the talks are on.

The talks between Alia Bhatt and Nag Ashwin are in advanced stages. Nag Ashwin plans to start his next film in November and complete it at a fast pace as he has Kalki 2898 AD sequel in hand. The teams are working out the logistics, including the modalities and timelines, before finalizing the paperwork.
