Alia Bhatt To Star In Gurinder Chadha's Disney Film ? Director Responds

Alia Bhatt was last seen in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

Director Gurinder Chadha's recent post on X (formerly Twitter) is aimed at setting the record straight. A few days ago, a newspaper reported that Alia Bhatt would be collaborating with the director for an upcoming Disney movie. Now, Gurinder Chadha has refuted these rumours by sharing a picture of the actress with the text, “This is NOT TRUE. NOT SURE WHERE THIS STARTED. THE SCRIPT IS STILL IN THE WORKS. ALIA AND I HAD A MEETING BOUT ANOTHER PROJECT AND I ATTENDED HER CHARITY GALA RECENTLY. “ In the same post, the director also included the headline that she was quashing. It read, “Alia Bhatt to star in Gurinder Chadha's next, backed by Disney?” This is NOT TRUE. NOT SURE WHERE THIS STARTED. THE SCRIPT IS STILL IN THE WORKS.

The rumours of Alia Bhatt joining hands with Gurinder Chadha started when the director attended the actress' Hope Gala in London. Alia Bhatt hosted a charity event to support the Salaam Bombay Foundation in raising funds for underprivileged children. The filmmaker also posted a video on Instagram from the event, featuring singer Harshdeep Kaur singing the song Lal Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bhala Jhoole Lalan. Alongside the post, Gurinder wrote, “Wonderful evening for Salaam Bombay Foundation charity.”

She also tagged Harshdeep and used the hashtag “aaliabhatt” in her caption.
