This student (of the year) will always go back to her mentor, principal and director of her debut movie for advice, help and mostly anything. Yes, Alia Bhatt has, at various occasions, acknowledged Karan Johar’s importance in her life, having addressed him as ‘Papa’ at award shows. While we are well aware of Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar’s camaraderie, we also know that Alia Bhatt reaches out to Karan whenever she is in doubt, personally or professionally.    


After a string of successful films, we are sure Alia Bhatt is inundated with work, films and of course, scripts. But what makes Alia sign a film, we wonder. In an interview to Filmfare, Alia said, “My mood at that time, the script and the director… help me decide a film.” Ever since her debut film, most of her films have been with Karan Johar’s production house. Although Alia can never say no to Karan but the actress reveals that if a film isn’t clicking, she’d rather not do it.


 


Talking about Karan, Alia said, “Karan asked me not to do Kapoor & Sons. I said, ‘No! I want to do it’. He said, ‘You don’t have enough part in it’. Karan will offer you a film and then he’ll also ask you not to do it in a protective way. Later, he said, ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong, you were right in doing it’.” Kapoor & Sons (2016), directed by Shakun Batra, was a romantic drama film starring Rishi Kapoor, Fawad Khan and Sidharth Malhotra. Kapoor & Sons was critically and commercially appreciated by the audiences and won several awards at award shows.  


After Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, Alia Bhatt is busy with the shooting of Abhishek Varman’s Kalank. Plus, Alia will soon be seen in Zoya AKhtar’s Gully Boy opposite Ranveer Singh. But for us, the most awaited film of Alia is going to be the sequel to the 1991-film Sadak. Yes, soon Alia Bhatt will begin the shooting of Sadak 2, starring Pooja Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sadak 2 will mark the return of Mahesh Bhatt to direction.
