Alia Bhatt Is Not The Disney Princess In Gurinder Chadha’s Musical; Here’s Why The Two Have Met!

Alia Bhatt is a bonafide star on her way to achieving global domination. Her schedule is packed with exciting new big-scale projects like Bhansali’s Love & War, Jigraa, and more. And she is causally starring in luxury brand Gucci’s latest campaign, which is such a huge deal. The Gangubai Kathiawadi star recently hosted her first-ever international charity gala in London. And the guest list was star-studded. But her picture with one guest, Director Gurinder Chadha, has been making news, and here’s why!

Gurinder Chadha, OBE, is a Kenyan-born Indo-British film director with Indian roots. The recurring topic of her work exposes the hardships of Indian women residing in the UK and how they need to integrate their converging traditional and modern cultures. She has carved a niche for herself with films like Bend It Like Beckham and Viceroy’s House.

Gurinder has been reported to head a Disney Musical based on an Indian Princess. So, naturally, when she was spotted with Alia, the rumor mill was abuzz that Alia would be the Disney Princess. There was so much fanfare and uphill rumors. But sorry to disappoint fans who were hoping to see Bhatt as the Disney Princess. Because Chadha says, that is not happening!
