Alia Bhatt’s journey to stardom began along with her debut in Karan Johar’s Student of the 12 months, where she appeared alongside Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. Nonetheless, Karan feels her real “skilled launch” happened with Imtiaz Ali’s Highway. He explained that the film allowed Alia to prove her acting abilities beyond just being a star. While Karan at all times believed in her potential, he admitted he never expected her to turn into a superstar who would encourage future generations. He also reminisced in regards to the bond he shared with Alia, Varun, and Sidharth in the course of the making of SOTY.

Karan Johar reflects on Alia Bhatt’s journey; says, “Her emotional launch is Student of the 12 months, but her skilled launch is Highway.”

While speaking on Komal Nahta’s YouTube show Game Changers, Karan Johar stated, “I at all times thought Alia could be a star, but I couldn’t imagine that she would turn into this sort of actress. I didn’t consider that. I knew she was a star and he or she was an excellent actress. She is solid, she will be able to face the camera but I at all times say that her emotional launch is Student of the 12 months, but her skilled launch is Highway.

Karan Johar considers Highway to be the film that really established Alia Bhatt as an actress, allowing her to prove her talent beyond stardom. He believes that having each exceptional acting skills and widespread popularity is what makes someone stand out. In his view, Alia is lucky to own each, distinguishing her from many others within the industry.

Reflecting on launching Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director Karan Johar revealed, “After I launched these three, I told my team that you must treat them like a mega stars only. So that they were like, ‘What does that mean?’ I said, ‘Treat them like they’re already superstars because for those who give them that confidence, they are going to face the camera like a star. In case you treat them like a newcomers, they’ll provide you with a newcomer performance.’ They got the very best treatment. That didn’t mean I used to be spoiling them.”

Karan Johar aimed to spice up the arrogance of the debutant actors, ensuring they felt like stars somewhat than newcomers. He treated them as friends and prioritized their comfort. As an alternative of traditional rehearsals, he held a 12-day workshop at his empty flat, where he focused on understanding them personally. Through conversations about their lives, thoughts, and insecurities, they developed a powerful bond by the top of the workshop.
