Karan Johar says that he didn’t use Alia Bhatt’s talent at all, here’s why!

The Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt had made her acting debut with Karan Johar’s film Student Of The Year!

It was back in the year 2012 when the pretty actress Alia Bhatt had made her acting debut with the film Student Of The Year. Directed by Karan Johar, the film turned out to be a hit.

However, KJo feels that he didn’t utilize Alia’s talent in his film. In a recent conversation with Rajeev Masand, he said, “She wasn’t used for her talent at all. In many ways, her emotional launch is Student of the Year but her real professional launch is Imtiaz Ali’s Highway. The way he nurtured her as an actor, the way he put her out there is something I didn’t do at all. I always spotted that there was something about her but I didn’t use her talent at all. I actually don’t feel I full-fledgedly ever directed Alia the way I would like to do.”

Both of them have together joined hands for the upcoming film Takht. But being a multi-starrer, Alia will have a limited role in the film. “Even Takht is an ensemble, she has a solid part in a way that she is extremely beautiful. It is one of my favourite tracks in the film but I still feel believe she and I have a film to make. A film that we can be known for. I haven’t really leveraged this whole lot of talent that we know,” added Karan.

Takht also stars Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar. It’s teaser was revealed earlier in February.
