Sara Ali Khan and father, Saif Ali Khan, may have appeared together in the latest episode of Karan Johar's chat show, Koffee With Karan 6. However, don't expect them to come together on the big screen any time soon. There has been some chatter that Sara, who is all set to make her big screen debut with Kedarnath on December 8, will be playing the lead in the sequel to the 2016's surprise hit, Hindi Medium, that will also star Saif Ali Khan playing the role of her father. However, there has been no official confirmation on this. Sara Ali Khan to Play Irrfan Khan's Daughter in Hindi Medium 2?

The movie would be directed by Nitin Kakkar, and Saif is revealed to be one of the co-producers. However, as per a report in Deccan Chronicle, it won't be Sara in the film. Instead, another star-kid would make her acting debut, sharing the screen with Saif in the movie. Sara Ali Khan Reveals On Koffee With Karan That She Prefers Ranveer Singh Over Sushant Singh Rajput And It's Not Surprising!

That star-kid happens to be Aalia Furniturewalla, the daughter of actress and socialite Pooja Bedi (known for romancing Aamir Khan in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander). A source close to the project told the publication, "(Aalia) has also been looking at a good Bollywood debut and it seems that she has bagged the role that the makers were initially looking to cast Sara in. Sara is now a big star even before her release, and the makers wanted someone fresh for that character." So yeah, we have another star kid waiting to impress you soon on the big screen, if the news is true!

Earlier when Saif was asked about the film, this is what he had to say, "It is a nice subject, but it will be too early to talk about it." With this casting news rumour, we look forward to hearing any announcement on this.

The first Hindi Medium film has Irrfan Khan and Pakistani actress Saba Qamar and was one of the most profitable films of 2016.
