Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt Candidly Revealed About Wanting To Impress Daughter Alia Bhatt With Shah Rukh Khan’s Duplicate – DEETS Inside

Mahesh Bhatt is a filmmaker known for his gritty and hard-hitting flicks. Sadak, Sir, and Criminal were all critically acclaimed in the 1990s. During this great run in the serious picture genre, the producer decided to take a different path and direct Duplicate, a masala comedy. The filmmaker stated in an earlier interview that he did it to please a young Alia Bhatt.

Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Sonali Bendre appeared in Duplicate, which was released in 1998 but failed to create an impact at the box office. A news team had visited the sets of the movie a year previously to meet with the actors and staff. During this visit, Mahesh Bhatt explained why he decided to switch genres.

Mahesh remarked in a chat that he is looking forward to showing his children the picture, hinting that his previous works may have been too aggressive or dark for youngsters. The filmmaker stated that he wanted to amaze Alia, who was only four years old at the time. The majority of children are not captivated by their parents. By Duplicate, the filmmaker has a good chance of impressing my four-year-old daughter Alia.

Alia did make a cameo as a youngster in one of Mahesh Bhatt’s films, Sangharsh, in 1999, when she portrayed the younger version of Preity Zinta’s role. Mahesh Bhatt directed and produced the film. She made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with Student of the Year, and has since established herself as one of the prominent actors of her generation. Sadak 2 was her father Mahesh’s debut film, and it was released in 2020. It was a follow-up to Mahesh’s 1991 blockbuster, which starred Sanjay Dutt and Mahesh’s older daughter Pooja. Alia Bhatt has a lot on her plate right now. Her next projects will be Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi as well as SS Rajamouli’s RRR.  She will also star opposite Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif in Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zaraa, as well as Ranveer Singh in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. In addition, for the first time, the actress will appear with Ranbir Kapoor in Brahmastra.
