Ananya Panday's PR goes overdrive calling her much better than Alia Bhatt; Is Karan Johar listening?

Ananya Panday is yet to deliver a big hit in theaters. However, she has been doing some decent work on OTT. Her Call Me Bae and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan releases on digital platforms received warm response although it cannot be said to be a very big thing. But nowadays, there is quite a fashion among the Bollywood stars to promote even a small success in a big way strategizing careful PR promotions.

When Call Me Bae was released Karan Johar was full of praise for Ananya Panday saying that his prodigy had finally arrived. It should be noted that it was Karan’s Dharma Productions that launched the Pati Patni Aur Woh actress in Bollywood with Student of the Year 2.

At that time it was Alia Bhatt who was the ideal of all the Nepo kids including Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ananya. Alia was also launched by Karan with Student of the Year and he has been her mentor for more than a decade.

Ananya Panday’s PR now calls her better than Alia Bhatt

At the start of the career for Ananya, Alia Bhatt was the best among the current lot of Bollywood actresses. Rather she was the idol for most of the girls coming from the Bollywood family and trying their luck in the film industry. However, it seems the decent response that the Khaali Peeli actress received with her last few OTT releases have made her a bit over confident.

And as a result she is not only getting compared with ;Alia Bhatt but a few of the social media posts call her much better than the Brahmastra actress in some ways. A cleverly plan debate or discussion is currently making rounds on social media in which Bollywood fans are discussing how Ananya has improved a lot and has been acting better than Alia.

On the other hand, some users have pointed out that Ananya has not become better but Alia’s performances have become worse. Some Ananya fans have also said that the actress is among the top 2 and Alia is in the same league as Ananya but has better PR.

Ananya Panday is yet to achieve theatrical success as Alia Bhatt

A few have also said that Ananya Panday’s performance in CTRL is much better than Alia Bhatt's in Jigra and that the latter has been given more credit than she deserves. Interestingly this social media war is going on between two actresses who share the same mentor – Karan Johar.

While for Karan in both cases it is a win win situation as he has supported both of them, it certainly seems a well-planned strategy from Ananya’s clan as theatrical release and performance wise Ananya is nowhere near Alia Bhatt.
