MUMBAI: Alia Bhatt has carved a niche for herself in the Bollywood industry. Popular for her style statements, the star kid has proved her mettle by working in several films. 

The actress, who recently wrapped up the second schedule of Mahesh Bhatt's Sadak 2 which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Pooja Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur, is excited about her upcoming film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi. According to the media reports, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is on the lookout for a tutor for Alia Bhatt for the film for the dialect. 

In the film, Alia is shown from Kathiawadi and hence needs to have that dialect. According to Mid Day, a close source said that interestingly, Alia's paternal grandfather Nanabhai Bhatt was a Gujarati Brahmin who hailed from Kathiawad. But Alia is not familiar with the dialect as it is rarely used outside of the pocket in Gujarat. Since the filmmaker is meticulous in his prep, he wants a tutor who is fluent in the dialect. Bhansali has reached out to some of Mumbai's famous Gujarati theatre personalities, including actors Manoj Joshi and Supriya Pathak, to help him in his search. The film will be shot simultaneously as she undertakes the month-long diction class.
