Alia Bhatt Faces Backlash After Rejecting ‘Meaningless Role’ In Saaho; Netizens Ask “What Happened During Brahmastra?”

Alia Bhatt was the first choice to do Saaho opposite Prabhas but she turned it down and reports claim that she turned it down as the role was pointless. Alia Bhatt who proved her acting prowess in her second film Highway is taking on some powerful roles. All thanks to Karan Johar.

Not just the audience, many celebrities feel that the kind of push and support Alia gets from Karan Johar has brought her all the stardom. Even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said the same.

And now that reports of Alia Bhatt rejecting Saaho with Prabhas are doing the rounds. Netizens are asking why she even did Brahmastra and RRR. Brahmastra was one of Ranbir and Alia’s most successful films, but netizens hated the actress as she had nothing to do in the film except take Shiva’s name.

Then how she did RRR

Netizens commented, “Haa RRR or Brahmastra mei toh bahot kuch tha Alia ke pass karne ke liye,” “#AliaBhatt was the first choice for the female lead in #Saho , she rejected the role because there wasn’t much to do and she doesn’t want to act in meaningless roles,” “Then how she did RRR,” “Alia Bhatt begs each and every role from directors because she is Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter and Karan Johar is her mentor Alia Bhatt snatches meaty roles from other beautiful and talented Actresses Karan Johar is a Bollywood Mafia & Alia Bhatt is the most Mediocre Nepo Actress” etc. 

She did a guest appearance in RRR and promoted it like a full-fledged film. Many chose Alia to play such a small role because her look was a wink and a kiss. In fact, southern sound engineer and Oscar winner Resul Pukootty called Alia a prop in SS Rajamouli’s film.
