Karan Johar is Alia Bhatt 's mentor in real life and seeing their bond director Vikas Bahl approached him to play her father on reel in the upcoming film ' Shaandaar '. However, the filmmaker turned actor rejected his offer citing the reason that he wants to maintain the exclusivity of his acting debut with ' Bombay Velvet '. Even then, he is very much part of the ' Shaandaar ' project.
Reportedly, Karan has agreed to play a cameo on Alia's insistence and has joined the ' Shaandaar ' team in London on their second schedule.
Even if it's a cameo, we are sure Karan will add his own charisma to the character to support the destination wedding film of his favourite girl- Alia.
