While heaping praises at Alia, Karan wrote, “SOTY is technically her launch but her true launch as an artist will always be highway.” He called her “a pride and pleasure on a film set.” He went on to share how Bhatt made her character Rani Chatterjee “strong and yet identifiable and likeable.”

The 51-year-old actor concluded by adding, “Was blessed to have her as Rani Chatterjee and I do hope her character keeps resonating …. Love you.” However, his note did not end there. In the same note, he also spoke about Ranveer Singh.

Johar called Singh an “irreplaceable force of nature,” and added, “The actor prepares and never comes in your way … he never ever let me know the extent he was prepping to play Rocky Randhawa.” The filmmaker recalled how Ranveer “planned his prep with his team, spent months in Delhi, hung out in west Delhi, met the West Delhi gram boys, worked on his dialect like an obsessed artist.”

“I feel like the perception of RS is so different from his labour and passion as a true artist! You see designer clothes on magazine covers I see a hungry actor only seeking love and validation from his audiences,” read an excerpt of his heartwarming caption. Check out the post below:
