Bhansali told Mumbai Mirror why he chose Alia for his next film and why he failed to work with her when she was just nine years old. “Alia is an extremely young actress with a lot of magic. She fits the role beautifully. When she was nine, she’d come with her mother (Soni Razdan) to audition for Black. I saw the sparkle in her eyes. I told Soni I wouldn’t audition her for a child’s role because I knew she was a Hindi film heroine.” said Bhansali.

Bhansali further added that the film he thought of making won't happen and the chance of working with Alia actually not happened at that time. “Later, I went to Soni and Mahesh (Bhatt) and told them I wanted their girl, but that project didn’t happen. Inshallah, this one will be a beautiful journey.”

 

However, Alia has really lined up with several projects in her bag, it starts with Kalank, then Brahmastra, RRR of SS Rajamouli, and then Karan Johar's Takht as well.
