DNA (June 21, 2014)

While Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra are currently touted as the hottest flavours of Bollywood, one filmmaker doesn't appear to be too inspired by them. And that is none other than the trio's mentor Karan Johar's close friend Aditya Chopra. A bitchy actress called to say, "Why isn't Adi signing Varun, Alia or Sidharth for any of his films? Isn't it strange that Karan is such a close friend of his and yet Adi isn't signing them? Maybe because he thinks that all three are medi-made stars."

Perhaps, there's another reason for Adi's behaviour and it is a fact that YRF likes to introduce it's own talent and not always work with stars. Remember Adi burnt his fingers when he had signed Shraddha Kapoor?

At the same time however, YRF is also known to identify the upcoming talents and sign them for their films. Actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Imran Khan, Ali Zafar, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sushant Singh Rajput, Aditya Roy Kapur etc were not discovered by YRF but got a chance to work with the banner soon enough.
