Sara Ali Khan shows promise of making it to top in Bollywood

Saif Ali Khan's daughter, Sara, stepped into Bollywood last year with two releases - Kedarnath and Simmba. Both the films soared at the box office. Sara succeeded in impressing one and all by her confidence and charisma.

She had a lot of screen-time in Kedarnath, but she was overshadowed by Ranveer Singh in Simmba. Now she is more careful about her choices. She is learning from her past experiences.

She turned down Baaghi 3 with Tiger Shroff, as she would not get enough screen-time. Baaghi and Baaghi 2 were massive successes at the box office, with Shraddha Kapoor and Disha Patani in pivotal roles.

Sara is keen to be a part of the Abhinav Bindra biopic, which stars Harshvardhan Kapoor.

Simmba was her second film but the tiny length of her role left many disappointed. However, she got the opportunity to play a very meaty role in her debut film Kedarnath. But in Rohit Shetty’s Simmba, she appeared on screen for less than 15 minutes.

Now Sara doesn’t see any point in being part of high-budgeted projects which provides miniscule screen space to female protagonists. The reason why she refused to star opposite Tiger Shroff in Baaghi 3 is simpe: the short length of her role. Sara now has zero interest in scoring box-office numbers with someone else at the helm of the project.

Sara, a 23-year old graduate from New York’s Columbia University, has won millions of fans across the country, with her gorgeous looks and spunky attitude.

It is clear that Sara’s acting prowess has been discovered by many top class film makers. This is evident by the report which says that Sara has been roped in by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Sara Ali Khan has undoubtedly rapidly left behind many of the old-timers with her unmatchable charisma and astounding star-power in just two films. That could be the obvious reason why  Bollywood’s biggest production houses Dharma Productions backed by bigwig Karan Johar has managed to rope in the star-child next. The film reportedly financed by Johar is scheduled to go on floors this year in August. Will Sara remain the part of this project or will Karan opt for someone else at the last moment? One has to wait and see.

Sara wishes to join hands with director Kannan Iyer in spite of the fact that his last project received an underwhelming response at the box office. Yhe project is said to be a biopic and there are chances of it starring Sara in the lead role.

Imtiaz Ali is set to make a sequel or a second part of his 2009 film ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and it was thought that Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan would be seen sharing the screen in the project. However, the latest buzz suggests that Ali Khan has opted out. There was speculation that the film could see her sharing the screen with father Saif Ali Khan but the latter went on to deny the news. It seems that the actress has decided to walk out due to issues with the script

Sara Ali Khan is very keen to share the screen with her crush who she said was Aaryan. Will her dream come true?
