“I Feel Like A Proud Papa Yet Again,” Says Karan Johar About Sidharth Malhotra’s Rave Reviews

Sidharth Malhotra has been getting  rave reviews ever since  his bio-pic Shershaah began streaming  on  Amazon Prime Video  on Thursday.

Shershaah  producer Karan Johar who  had discovered  Sidharth Malhotra for the big screen  in Student  Of  The Year  in 2012 can’t stop preening.

Says Karan exclusively to this writer, “I feel like a proud papa yet again!  It’s amazing how I feel for all three of them( Sidharth Malhotra , Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan whom Karan  introduced  in Student  of the Year). That feeling of  paternal love kicked in with them,”  says Karan who now has his own twin  children Ruhi and  Yash.

Alia  is now a Sanjay Leela Bhansali heroine.And Karan Johar   has more reason to be proud,

“ Sidharth Malhotra is  going to make her an even better actress than she is, as he  does with all his artistes,” says  Karan who is  all set to direct a love story with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh entitled Rocky Aur Rani  Ki Prem Kahani.

About  Sidharth Malhotra’s performance  London’s The Guardian critic writes, “ Sidharth Malhotra , ever handsome, mostly upright, sensing he needn’t flex too hard to emerge looking like a sweetheart. As the film switches between Batra’s personal and professional lives, its star successfully runs the trickiest gauntlet: trying not to look too gawky in the shell suits of college flashbacks. Malhotra and an unusually deglammed Kiara Advani (as Batra’s beloved, Dimple) can’t credibly resemble undergraduates, but they share a fond, tender chemistry.”
