Alia Bhatt at just 25 years is ruling the Bollywood like no other. She has become a stalwart with the amazing repertoire of films that she has been a part of. In the six years that she has been a part of the industry she has gone from strength-to-strength and has never looked behind. She has become a force to be reckoned with and a favourite of all the senior actors in the industry. Alia, who was launched by Karan Johar in his directorial Student of the Year share a special bond with the filmmaker, so much so that she might not be able to say no to his film but he advises her against taking up a film even if it is under his banner. Apparently, he had advised Alia not to sign Kapoor & Sons.
During a recent interview given to a leading entertainment portal, Alia said, “I’ll never say no to Karan. Who would say no to him? But if a film doesn’t click with me, I’d rather not do it. What’s the point? And Karan is extremely understanding. There have been a couple of films that he suggested but for whatever reasons, I couldn’t do them. He understood. 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’.”
Alia also revealed what triggers her to take up a project. Mind you, almost all her films have been hits and brought her critical acclaim and audience appreciation. Alia said that she follows her gut instincts while signing a project. She said that her mood at the time, the script and the director helps her decide on a film.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia has wrapped up Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra opposite Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy. She will also be seen in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy with Ranveer Singh. She also stars in Kalank which has an ensemble cast of Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha and Kunal Kemmu.
