Saif Ali Khan‘s daughter Sara Ali Khan is all set to make her Bollywood debut soon and there were reports of her stepping in the industry with Karan Johar’s film. The last we heard was that Saif was not ok with Sara making his debut under Karan’s banner, while Kareena was trying to convince him for the same.
But here is Saif putting an end to all the speculations. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the actor said, “I am very happy to see Sara doing whatever she has her heart set on. We talk constantly and she discusses whatever she wants to and I give her my advice. But eventually it is her decision.”
When asked if she is going to debut under KJo’s banner, Saif confirms, “I think she is going to. I am very happy she is working with Karan Johar because I think he is brilliant with newcomers and he will launch her correctly. He is a very intelligent and a passionate filmmaker and he understands films. I am very pleased that she is with him.”
Reports also suggest that Sara has replaced Disha Patani to star opposite Tiger Shroff in ‘Student Of The Year 2’. “Disha was finalised as Tiger was keen to have her in the film. It would mean that this off-screeen pair would finally woo each other on-screen and that’s also interesting for the audience. Producer Karan Johar and director Punit agreed to Disha, as she has a pleasing personality and is confident on screen, as seen in her last release ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ and ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ with Jackie Chan. But for reasons best known to the makers, Disha has made way for Sara. This is another case of an outsider losing to a star kid. KJo was always planning to launch Sara, but her name was mentioned in connection to the remake of ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ with Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khattar. But that didn’t work out. Karan is very secretive about his films and he likes to announce them himself. They are holding this bit of news close to their heart because they were not happy with the news of Disha being cast, coming out,” a source added.
We wait for an official statement from the makers now.
