Koffee With Karan: Varun Dhawan would bring him photos of alternative actors to cast in place of Alia Bhatt in SOTY, Karan Johar disclosed on his program. Koffee With Karan: Karan Johar claims that Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan were opposed to Alia Bhatt’s casting in Student of the Year.
On Thursday’s edition of Koffee With Karan, actors Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan did their best to avoid letting anything scandalous escape on Karan Johar’s sofa, but the host delivered a bombshell. Even though Sidharth and Varun get along well today, Karan disclosed that at first, they didn’t want Alia Bhatt to co-star in Student of the Year with them.
He spoke about it even though Sidharth and Varun Dhawan appeared to be uncomfortable with it. I remember when Alia initially stepped in, both of you sent me texts stating you couldn’t cast her. One of you mentioned that she is too young. I’m saying this because when we shot with her three months later for a picture session, she stood silent and didn’t look at either of you. She was either conscious or shy since you all knew who I was. She had no idea who I was. We conducted the picture session, and I knew right away, I mean, from the first snap, Karan remarked.
Additionally, Alia sent a message on Koffee With Karan for her SOTY co-stars. She revealed some lesser-known details about them, such as the fact that Sidharth has a beautiful singing voice and Varun occasionally makes jokes.
