Karan On Alia: Karan Johar the king of Nepotism and controversy has always been in the headlines for one reason or the other. Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar made Alia Bhatt’s debut in Bollywood with his film. Karan Johar has now talked about Alia Bhatt and his film ‘Student of the Year’ in an interview. He said that he always knew that Alia Bhatt was going to become a star, but did not know that she would become such a successful actress.
In an interview given to the YouTube channel Game Changers, Karan Johar said that Varun and Siddharth had been my assistants in My Name is Khan. I was going to launch Alia for the first time. I met her for the first time in my office when she came home from school. When I launched these three, I told my team that you should treat these three like big stars. We never treated them like new stars. We always treated them like mega stars so that they could work in the same way. This particular statement once again sparked the nepotism debate for the privileges he has given to star kids other than newcomers.
Karan On Alia Bhatt: In the same interview, Karan Johar went on to talk about Alia Bhatt. He candidly said, “I always thought that Alia would become a star, but I could not imagine that she would become this kind of actress.” Karan Johar said that I always say that her emotional launch was ‘Student of the Year’ and her professional launch was ‘Highway’. That film opened all the doors to acting for Alia.
This controversial director and producer will always have several films in his hands as its a dream to work with him for many artists from the industry. Karan Johar has talked about the game-changing film of his career. He said, “When I was working on the film My Name is Khan, I felt that this film was beyond my scope. After 12 years, I felt that I really knew how to work, I am a director.”
