Karan Johar is not directing Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor or any other actor in his next project, the filmmaker confirmed via a tweet on Wednesday. Several unconfirmed reports suggested Karan, who is producing Janhvi's debut film Dhadak, will direct her soon and Alia will co-star with her. However, Karan Johar has made it clear that they are just rumours and tweeted, "Lots of conjecture and unnecessary stories on my directorial next. Just to make clear, not a single actor has heard or read the script of my next film. Everything you read or hear is hearsay." Karan Johar had also launched Alia in Bollywood with 2012's Student Of The Year, which he had directed.
