Alia Bhatt's Shaandaar reply to shuddhi rumours

Actress Alia Bhatt is not keen to divulge any details about Shuddhi amid reports that the film produced by Karan Johar is finally being shelved. The last time Shuddhi was in news is when Alia and Varun Dhawan were announced as its new cast.
"I don't know why I am asked this question. I believe to talk about the fate of the film on behalf of the makers is wrong. I am just a representative of the project. I am not the maker. So any details regarding Shuddhi or any other film should always be discussed with the people who make the film," Alia said, when asked about the fate of Shuddhi.

The 22-year-old actress, meanwhile, is excited about her other upcoming film Udta Punjab which stars Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor.

On working with Kareena, she said, "We haven't done any scenes together but I had the opportunity to be around her (Kareena) and see her. We spent one whole day together. It was a Shaandaar (her upcoming film) experience." (Also Read - If Anyone Can Play Kareena's Geet it is You: Shahid Kapoor to Alia Bhatt)

Of comparisons with her, Alia said, "There can be no way where there can be comparisons between us."

Initially, Shuddhi was to star Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan. But it was delayed due to Hrithik's health issues leading to his exit, following which Kareena also walked out. Later, Salman Khan was roped in, but after some time he also opted out.

Shuddhi is being produced by Karan Johar and directed by Agneepath's Karan Malhotra.
