Angad will be seen working with the "Highway" star for the first time in "Dear Zindagi", which also stars Shah Rukh Khan.
The movie is directed by Gauri Shinde.
"Alia is phenomenal. She has a great switch-on switch-off ability. She is very hardworking and it is fun working with her because as an actor you feed off each other. She helps you. You pick up on her energy," Angad said in an interview.
"She is born to act. She could not do anything else. There are some people, like how (Sachin) Tendulkar was born to play cricket, Alia was born to be an actor. She is gifted," the 33-year-old actor said.
"Some people work hard, some are just talented. Alia has got that. She is unique. She carried 'Highway', now she will carry this film. Every film after 'Student of the year', especially after 'Highway' and 'Udta Punjab', you can't get eyes off her," he further said.
According to reports, Shah Rukh will help Alia navigate her life and relationships in the film. Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Zafar and Kunal Kapoor also star in the movie.
Meanwhile, the actor is awaiting his next release "Pink" starring Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu among others.
