Vikas
Bahl's
upcoming
movie
Shaandaar
became
instantly
popular
the
moment
the
film
was
announced.
First
time
pairing
of
Alia
Bhatt
and
Shahid
Kapoor
definitely
boosted
the
film's
popularity
and
now
it
will
only
increase
with
Karan
Johar
joining
the
cast
of
the
movie
as
well.
The
director
who
is
making
his
acting
debut
as
a
villain
in
Bombay
Velvet
is
acting
in
yet
another
movie
and
it
is
none
other
than
Shaandaar.
Earlier
he
had
turned
down
the
offer
to
play
the
role
of
Alia
Bhatt's
father
in
the
movie
but
now
he
is
said
to
be
back
in
a
different
role
in
the
same
movie.
The
Highway
actress
is
Karan
Johar's
most
loved
protege
and
it
will
be
super
exciting
to
watch
the
duo
on-screen
together.
Since
he
is
not
doing
the
full-fledged
role
of
a
father
he
has
agreed
to
do
a
cameo
in
the
film
and
it
was
none
other
than
Alia
who
convinced
him
to
pay
a
small
role
in
the
movie.
Alia
and
Karan
have
even
started
shooting
in
London
for
their
portion
in
the
film.
Anyways
Shahid
Kapoor's
real
father,
Pankaj
Kapoor
is
playing
the
reel
life
father
of
Alia
Bhatt
in
Shaandaar,
a
role
Karan
had
rejected.
