In an interview with mid-day, Alaya was quoted saying, "I don't know what I would be doing if I hadn't got Jawaani Jaaneman. This was my life's best decision when I decided to audition for the role. I got to learn a lot from Saif sir and Tabu ma'am. Just watching them was enough. I never thought my first film would romantic or thriller or action, all I wanted to do was a good film."
Talking about her character in Jawaani Jaaneman, she said, "She's very similar to me. She's fun-loving and free-spirited, independent, mature and even immature. I relate a lot to my character, not the story because I have a father."
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, starring Saif Ali Khan, Tabu and debutant Alaya F, the movie revolves around how a bachelor, who has the time of his life living and partying in London, until his life turns upside down when he meets a girl who turns out to be his daughter. The film is all set to release on January 31, 2020.
