Alia Bhatt on Shah Rukh Khan: “He’s magic and magician put together”

Shah Rukh Khan, once one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, hasn’t had the best track record at the box office of late. His recent films, like Fan (2016), Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017), and Zero (2018) have failed to perform commercially, which is why at a recent event hosted by the Indian Express, Bollywood’s current box office queen Alia Bhatt was asked if she had any advice for Khan. She replied with, “He needs no advice. He’s the magic and magician put together. So I won’t give any advice to him, rather I’ll take advice from him on how magical he is.”

Khan and Bhatt were paired together in Dear Zindagi (2016). 

The 56-year-old actor will be seen next in Pathaan, starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, followed by Atlee’s  Jawan, which will also be South star Nayanthara’s Bollywood debut.

Meanwhile, Bhatt is prepping up for her home production Darlings, starring Shefali Shah and Vijay Verma, which will be available on Netflix from August 5th.
