Much that the effervescent Alia Bhatt would like to work with her celebrated father Mahesh Bhatt, the grand uncle of Indian cinema wouldn’t give his daughter that opportunity. Why? Apparently, Bhatt sahib (as he is fondly known by industry insiders) has a policy of not working with ‘stars’ and he harbours the notion that Alia B has become one. However, the daughter is hopeful that one day her wisdom-spewing father would change his policy and give her a chance to act in his film.

Come on Alia B: you have better fish to fry. You are a star!
