At the age of 9 years old, Alia Bhatt had auditioned for SLB’s 2005 directorial ‘Black‘. However, Bhansali had rejected Alia, who recalled this incident in a recent interview. “My biggest inspiration before I began the film and through my film was my director sitting right here. I wanted to be directed by him ever since I was 9-years-old. That’s when I first walked into his house to audition for another film he was making at that time,” Alia says.

She then revealed the audition was for the movie Black, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee in the leads.

I was terrible, which is why I did not get the part. But he looked at me, and he narrates that story even now, he looked into my eyes and said to himself that ‘she is going to be a heroine, a big actor someday. He saw that fire in my eyes when I was 9 years old. I remember very clearly from that time onwards, my one point focus became one day I have to be directed by him,” Alia continues.

Talking about their film Gangubai Kathiawadi, Bhatt says, “Everybody is aware of Sanjay sir’s films and cinematography. The way he puts his films together on celluloid, they are a visual spectacle. Gangubai is also the kind of film where you need to get involved and experience it, as opposed to pause it and do something and come back. That feeling of watching a film together with strangers in a theatre is a magical experience.”
