Ram Kapoor Predicts Alia Bhatt Will Be Next Deepika Padukone: ‘Married To A Kapoor…’

Ram Kapoor Predicts Alia Bhatt Will Be Next Deepika Padukone: From the time she debuted in Student of the Year, Alia Bhatt has traveled a long distance. Ram Kapoor, who also played a significant role in the film, turned to Siddharth Kannan to discuss Alia's prowess and stardom as an actress. Ram Kapoor said that Alia Bhatt has the potential to become like Deepika Padukone. He recalled her debut days and said that since she was the youngest, people dismissed her and felt Varun Dhawan and Siddarth Malhotra had a better shot at success.

Ram Kapoor said, “She is Alia Bhatt today, married to a Kapoor. If she goes the way she is going now, she will be Deepika. She is not a bloody star child. She is more professional than anyone, I have seen it. In today’s time, if you are not like that, the industry says bye."

“She is so professional. I know ad filmmakers who have done ads with her. Do you know that on sets, she calls every single director ‘Sir’, even if he is younger than her," he said.

Recalling when Alia, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra were debuting together, Ram Kapoor said, “Everyone was so young. The industry is so hard that everybody was looking at her with doubt. Alia was the youngest. At that point, if you told anyone that Alia would achieve what she has achieved today, nobody would believe."

Ram Kapoor mentioned, “She was a small little baby, literally. She still had baby cheeks. She is not the Alia of today. For Varun and Siddharth, people thought that maybe they have a chance, but Alia was such a baby. Looking at what she has achieved today, hats off!"

Meanwhile, on the acting front, Alia Bhatt will next be seen in Alpha. This is directed by Shiv Rawail, who is mainly known for the YRF-produced streaming series The Railway Men.
