Alia wants to be directed by father Mahesh Bhatt

Alia says her father is as young at heart as she is

Highlights

  • Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan's youngest-born Alia Bhatt has gone from the baby of the family to the babe of Bollywood in no time at all. The 20-year-old now has an impossible dream.
  • "I want to be directed by my father (Mahesh Bhatt). But I don't think he will ever direct again,” said Alia.
  • Mr Bhatt, the director of Arth, Saaransh, and Zakhm among others, quit direction post Kartoos and Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan in 1999. Now he focuses on the production part of his banner Vishesh Films, which he co-owns with his brother Mukesh Bhatt.
  • “But yes, I want to work for my home company (Vishesh Films). I am not intimidated by my father. I am only intimidated by his intelligence. He may be a lot older than me. But at heart he's as young as I am. At home, he's more energetic than all of us," said Alia.
  • Alia debuted in 2012 with Student of The year, and this year she didn't have any release.
  • Talking about her 2013 experience, she said: “It has been a pretty tumultuous year for me. Yes, it was a decisive year. It was a year that I will remember mainly for shooting Highway. Sometimes I forget I am just one film old. I am working on three projects. I've three films with Dharma Productions. It all seems unreal.”
