New Delhi. After making a name for herself in the world of acting, Alia Bhatt is now trying her hand in film production as well. Alia Bhatt co-produced the Netflix film Darling. Alia Bhatt inherited her sense of films from her parents. Alia Bhatt’s father Mahesh Bhatt is counted among the veteran directors of Bollywood. Mahesh Bhatt has made many actors and actresses stars. He has also given a chance to many newcomers in films, but there is also one superstar in this industry with whom Mahesh Bhatt has not had a single hit.
Mahesh Bhatt gave Shah Rukh Khan two opportunities to be a part of big films in the early stages of his career, but both times he suffered huge losses. Mahesh Bhatt first cast King Khan in the 1996 film ‘Chahat’. In this film, Shah Rukh was seen with the director’s daughter Pooja Bhatt. Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher also played important roles in this film. Starring many stars, this film failed to make a home in the hearts of the audience.
Akshay-Rekha and Raveena caused quite a stir when they came together on screen, years later the ‘Mast Mast Girl’ sparked outrage.
Now let’s talk about Shah Rukh Khan’s second film directed by Mahesh Bhatt. This actor and director pair was seen together for the second time in the year 1998. In the year 1998, King Khan was seen in the film ‘Duplicate’. The film also starred Kajol, Sonali Bendre and Juhi Chawla in lead roles. This film is also not liked by the audience.
Shabana Azmi’s sister-in-law shaved her head for the film, breathing life into the character, the film became a hit upon release.
The pairing with the director’s daughter was a hit
After delivering two back-to-back flop films, the pair parted ways and never worked together again. Mahesh Bhatt and King Khan may not have worked together for years, but the director’s daughter has delivered a superhit film with the actor. Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan worked together in the film ‘Dear Zindagi’. The film proved to be a superhit at the box office.
