As
Alia
Bhatt
and
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
gear
up
for
the
release
of
Gangubai
Kathiawadi,
we
bring
to
you
the
controversial
statement
of
Mahesh
Bhatt,
which
he
had
given
on
Karan
Johar's
chat
show,
Koffee
With
Karan.
Did
you
know
Bhatt
had
called
Bhansali
an
overrated
director?
Yes,
you
read
it
right!
When
Mahesh
Bhatt
graced
the
chat
show
of
Karan
Johar,
he
had
labelled
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
an
'overrated
filmmaker'
and
Kajol
an
'overrated
actress'.
Bhatt's
statements
had
left
Karan
stumped
as
well,
as
he
shares
a
great
rapport
with
Kajol
and
has
huge
respect
for
Bhansali.
Coming
back
to
Bhansali's
Gangubai
Kathiawadi,
which
stars
Bhatt's
daughter
Alia,
the
latter
recently
spoke
about
her
father's
reaction
to
the
film
and
said
that
he
liked
it.
In
an
interview
with
The
Free
Press
Journal,
when
Alia
was
asked
about
her
father's
review
about
the
film,
she
said,
"He
had
read
the
script
and
has
seen
the
film
too.
He
gave
a
few
suggestions,
which
I
passed
on
to
Sanjay
sir.
He
loved
the
film."
While
Bhatt
didn't
find
Bhansali
a
maverick
director,
his
daughter
Alia
wanted
to
be
directed
by
him
ever
since
she
was
nine
years
old.
She
said,
"That's
when
I
first
walked
into
his
house
to
audition
for
Black
that
he
was
making
at
that
time.
I
did
a
terrible
audition
and
did
not
get
the
part.
But
he
looked
at
me
and
he
narrates
that
story
even
now
that
he
looked
in
my
eyes
and
he
said
to
himself
that
she's
going
to
be
a
heroine.
That
means
she's
going
to
be
a
big
actor
someday."
Alia
further
said
that
Bhansali
saw
fire
in
her
eyes
when
she
was
nine
years
old.
"And
I
think
I
remember
very
clearly,
from
that
time
onwards,
my
one
point
of
focus
became
that
one
day
I
have
to
be
directed
by
him," said
the
Raazi
actress.
