MUMBAI: Karan Johar is all geared up to direct Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in a quirky love story. While Karan has not commented on this new project, a close friend of his confirms, “Yes Karan is directing a film with Ranveer and Alia. Alia is like Karan’s resident heroine. She will do anything Karan asks her to."
"As for Ranveer, both Deepika and she are very close to Karan. But Ranveer has never been directed by Karan, although he  did Simmba which was  co-produced by Karan’s Dharma Productions," the friend added.

Alia and Ranveer co-starred in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy where the former had a  minimal role. This time, the pair will have a lot more to do together. Alia is closer to him than she is to her own father. The actress calls Karan her second father.

Moreover, Alia and Karan are so close that she doesn’t make any major professional or personal decisions without consulting him.
