Mahesh Bhatt says daughter Alia Bhatt has had a successful inning but ‘won’t burden her with delusions that she’s most talented’

In an interview with Bollywood Life, Mahesh said, “First of all, using the most gifted actor for Alia is not the right thing because the industry is full of extraordinary talents. And I would not burden that girl of mine with the delusion that she is the most talented actor. She has had a successful inning so far based on her choices and the contributions of writers and directors to her brand.”

Mahesh then lauded Alia for bagging her first international project and said that “she has an interesting role” in Heart of Stone. Alia plays the role of a film’s villain, Keya Dhawan.

The filmmaker said, “To reach Hollywood, you have to begin with a role that is engaging, and I bet she wouldn’t have done that if she wouldn’t have found it worthy of the time that she gave to it, and I don’t know what the entire script is unless she comes and gives me the script, but I believe she has an interesting role.”
