KJO finds AliaKareena comparison 'unfair'

Three-film-old Alia Bhatt is often compared to her senior Kareena Kapoor, but filmmaker Karan Johar says it's unfair to draw a comparison between the two actresses.

After launching Alia in filmdom with his directorial venture ‘Student Of The Year’, Karan teamed up with the 21-year-old again for his production venture ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’. In fact, the ‘Highway’ girl will be seen as a huge Kareena fan in the film.

"There is only one Kareena Kapoor and I am not only a huge fan of hers on the celluloid, I also like her personally. I am very close to her and Kareena and Alia are two different people," Karan Johar told reporters during the trailer launch of ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’.

"Kareena has created a tremendous niche for herself and set a bar so high that it's unfair to compare her with Alia. Alia has her individual charm and I am sure even Alia will make her own space," he added. At a time when innovative marketing is key to a film's success, Alia turned into a new marketing guru and decided to use her and co-star Varun Dhawan's selfie as part of the film's promotion. Taking pride in her decision,

she said: "It was my idea. I love selfies; so I said let's do a selfie poster. But I would call it a 'Humpty' poster."
