In a recent interview, “Hamari Adhuri Kahani” director Mohit Suri said he was sceptical about working with cousin Alia Bhatt. “I'd love to work with her. I am very close to Alia and to Sidharth Malhotra, who I worked with in “Ek Villain,” so they are both very special to me. Alia is a brilliant actress. If I have to work with her, the standard and quality of work has to be really high,” he said.
Suri, who shares compatibility with Emraan Hashmi and has delivered several hits with the actor, said the 22 year old is often upset with him as he did not cast her in his films. “She keeps fighting with me. She tells me that I am working with other actors and making them stars, except for her. Her constant complaint is that I make everyone look pretty. I am really keen on working with her but I don't know when that will be. Writing something for her doesn't come naturally for me. I guess it's because I am not used to working with stars.”
