Vivek Agnihotri, who is known for training guns at star kids, has surprisingly heaped praise on Alia Bhatt. The filmmaker called the actress a part of his family and admired her work. He said that she sets an example of how an actor should mature.

In one of the recent interviews, The Kashmir Files director was quoted as saying, “I'm a fan of Alia Bhatt and Allu Arjun. I feel Alia is a part of my family, and I always admire her work. I like the way she has matured as an actor in the last few years. She has creative intelligence, and that’s why I really like her growth and the way she has conducted herself in public. Whenever there’s a discussion, I refuse to accept anything negative about her. Alia is a great example of how an actor should mature.”Further, he also expressed his desire to work with South sensation Allu Arjun.

Vivek Agnihotri is currently hogging the limelight for his latest release, The Vaccine War. With the medical thriller, he pays the tribute to medical fraternity and scientists during the horrific times of the Covid-19 pandemic. The plot revolves around the development of the vaccine Covaxin and its controversy. The film marks the comeback of Nana Patekar in the film industry after a long time. However, the film opened to a poor start at the box office, collecting only Rs 85 lakh on Thursday.

Alia, on the other hand, is basking in the box office success of her last release Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Directed by Karan Johar, the film also stars Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. Recently, the actress announced her next Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala and jointly backed by her and Karan Johar.
