Alia Bhatt keen to work with Mani Ratnam

Actress Alia Bhatt says she is keen to work with veteran director Mani Ratnam.

"My dad (Mahesh Bhatt) keeps pushing me to watch regional films. He had said that I should definitely do Bengali films. I've always wanted to work with Mani Ratnam, so maybe I'll go down south and work with Mani sir," Alia said here when asked if she intended to try her hand at regional cinema.
