When Karan Johar Tried To Convince Alia Bhatt To Not Sign Kapoor & Sons But She Wouldn’t Listen!

Kapoor & Sons was one such film that still remains a favourite of most Bollywood lovers. That film not only won the hearts of many but also won many awards. Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Fawad Khan were cast in the film, and we believe that it couldn’t have been better than this. But did you know Karan Johar tried to sabotage Miss Bhatt’s casting in this film?

Yes! You heard it right. KJo had a one-on-one session with Alia before she heard the narration of this Dharma Productions film, and he had asked her not to do the film. Well, it is not what you think. So before you jump to any conclusion, let us give you all the details.

During an Inside The Writers Room session on Clubhouse, Karan Johar had confessed to asking Alia Bhatt to think before signing this film. He said, “I tried to sabotage her casting because I had a one-on-one with Alia and I said, ‘Listen, you don’t have to do every Dharma film. You don’t like it, you don’t do it because the part is really nothing.’ She was like, ‘Yeah, I know but I love Shakun (Batra), I’ll just hear it for him, he’s a good friend.’ I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, but don’t do it. It’s fine because it’s called Kapoor & Sons and you’re not a Kapoor in the film.'”
