Maybe not. A few months ago one of the local extras tweeted that he was part of the end credit song and that Sid and Alia end up together. He even claimed that there wasn't a love triangle at all. I guess there is a chance he was just BSing but it didn't seem like it. Besides, I think this is a family drama first and romance second.

Hey,which local extra?There was a guy on twitter,he was claiming that he was an extra!He was a star for 1 day,n he was having a chat session about the film!But in my memory,he didn't say anything about with whom Alia end up!Everyone was asking him about Sid n Alia's relationship status n Fawad's popularity!R u talking about him?

Looks like we will know the whole story by the time it releases.😡😆.I just hope they maintain the ambiguity over who gets the girl till the end..That will do for me..

people like Charlie Chacha and that extra, what's with them...just because they were a little part of the movie they will write all the details and tell all even before the movie releases to get some attention.Seriously, this is not what good people do. I think even extras must be made to sign contract of not revealing any details on social media.

@NowEna, I don't know if it was the same person or not. But that person I'm talking about did mention that he could be seen in the end credit song, and I remember people specifically asking about he romance angle of the movie. He said Alia ends up with Sid.

Didn't even Sid confirm something like this recently by saying him and Fawad are only competing in their writing?

I think these guys, especially this Charlie Chacha had permission to reveal this info. This gentleman has done this before and knows the drill about confidentiality and all that.

Thanks dude,for telling me this!N I've also read that interview of Sid,where he confirmed that he n Fawad r just competing as writers!But the thing is I've never heard Sid or Fawad saying this is a love triangle!Only Kjo has announced that!Strange 😒

There was an interview of Fawad's if I find it I will post it here. He said that both Sid and him are vying for the same girl that is Alia. And remember how a pic of Alia and fawad got leaked so It will probably be a love triangle.

A writer shares his experience on shooting with Kapoor and Sons:

<h1>Charlie Chacha's encounter with co-star Alia Bhatt</h1>

Last time I wrote about "you blink and you miss" my role in the movieBrothers. Before I could enjoy this limited glory, I get a call from the same casting directorPallavi GhavriofDharma Productionsto come for an audition. I drive down to their office-cum-studio in Bandra. I am told I am auditioning for a character calledChaudhry Chachain a movie titled Kapoor & Sons. I was a bit sceptical imagining a bawaji dressed in dhoti kurta! A script is handed to me. The scene is about an angry old man who has a fight with his best friend over a game of cards. The casting director soon arrives greeting me with finally we meet". She explains the scene in detail. We rehearse a few times before the shoot. A couple of more takes and I am told they will let me know. On my way out I notice a few other aspirants waiting for the audition.

A week later I get a call that I am selected and the shoot will be for a week at Coonoor. Danesh Irani, the son of actor Boman Irani, is the executive producer of the film. The costume in-charge comes to my home for measurements. I am relieved the dress is going to be normal shirt, trousers, a cardigan and a beret cap. I take my wife along to Coimbatore. From the airport, a car picks us up and we travel up the hill road climbing to 1850 mts to reach Coonoor. During our stay we experience the seasons. In the course of a single day, it is sunny, suddenly cloudy with a mild drizzle, with the temperature dipping as evening approaches .

We are put up in a heritage hotel. The board outside says "Wallwood Garden" with a line below saying "Hotel but not a Hotel". It is a 19th century Scottish-style stately home surrounded by greenery and rooms named after trees and flowers. We get a room called Accacia.

Next morning a car takes us to the shooting spot which again is a bungalow converted into a hotel. The shoot is outdoors. The assistant director Bharati receives us and I am directed to a van which I'll be sharing with actor Rajat Kapoor. It is a privilege to meet him. He tells me they have been shooting here for 15 days. Soon he leaves for the shoot. My beret cap is really funny. I look like a "Charlie Chacha". The shoot is on the lawn opposite the hotel. It is a party scene for which they have invited the local residents. They are all from well-to-do families, having their own bungalows. I join my wife and we chat with the mothers of the children taking part in the shoot. Suddenly we see a lady walking by and talking on her mobile as a man walks behind her holding an umbrella to protect her from the sun. Everyone is laughing at the sight when we realise she is Alia Bhatt, the heroine of the movie. That's a privilege reserved for the stars and not Charlie Chacha!

<h1>Shooting for six days, a star for barely six minutes</h1>

Next day we are called to the shoot early. The weather gods are favourable. The shoot starts. As guests arrive they are given fancy hats to wear, whistles to blow.

The shoot is at McIver Villa, also called 180 McIver, because it provides a 180 view of Coonoor town and the surrounding hills. A 115-year-old colonial bungalow, now a Heritage Hotel, is used for the shoot as the home of the family patriarch, played by Rishi Kapoor.Ratna Pathak ShahandRajat Kapoorare his daughter and son-in-law, andSidharth MalhotraandFawad Khanare the two grandsons. Alia Bhat is Sidharth's girlfriend. I play Rishi's fast friend.

It's a party scene in the spacious garden area where they are celebrating Rishi's 90th birthday. Rishi, who is 60, needed five hours of make-up to look 90 and another three hours later to get back to normal. We see 16 dancers, who were specially flown in from Mumbai, on the dance floor while the oldies are sitting down playing cards. The stars take their positions and the shoot is about to begin when the clouds open up. There is a drizzle. We all rush indoors. To save time early lunch is announced. Post lunch, the weather doesn't improve and the director decides to call it a day.

Next day we are called to the shoot early. The weather gods are favourable. The shoot starts. As guests arrive they are given fancy hats to wear, whistles to blow. Garlands for the ladies, music is on full blast, confetti bursts, a couple of kids play with it and the cake with 90 candles arrives. We all surround Rishi and sing Happy Birthday and feed each other the cake.

At one stage Rishi pretends to die in the midst of laughter and some of the guests take Rishi on his wheelchair round and round. This is a typical Bollywood party scene, but it doesn't get over in one shot. First a couple of rehearsals, then let's take it guys', ready','cameras roll', cut cut', Alia move a bit to your right', Fawad go back a bit', OK, roll', and this goes on and on till the director is satisfied with the take. Two full days went by shooting this one scene, which on the screen will probably be watched for five minutes.

The next day is when my moment finally arrives. Rishi, myself and two guests sit over a game of cards. Sidharth, Alia, Rajat and Fawad join in to watch. Sidharth introduces Alia to Rishi. Alia wishes him Happy Birthday and tells him "Dadu, aap 90 ke ho ya 19". Rishi jokingly whispers to Sidharth "I think woh mere pe line mar rahi hain!'.The tte--tte goes on. I get impatient and tell Rishi "Chaal chalo bhai,chaal chalo!". We start playing teen patti with the card on head variation. I see Alia whispering something to Rishi. I find something fishy and shout at Rishi "Ye sarasar cheating hai!", and a big fight takes place till I am virtually bodily lifted and moved out. The shot is over. I felt I was on a theatre stage, with the audience giving us a rousing ovation at the end of the show. One major scene " that's all I had " and it took six days to shoot. That's the movie world for you. Both me and my wife enjoyed every moment of it. The movie Kapoor & Sons will be released early next year. Who says Life can't begin at Eighty?

But that pic which was leaked,it was a very casual one!N I've followed the film so far,so I can remember that when Sid n Alia was shooting in Mumbai,Fawad wasn't in India,that time he went back to Pakistan to celebrate Eid with his family!N Sid n Alia have shot a song of Baadshah without Fawad!So I think Fawad doesn't have that much scenes with Alia!But it should be a love triangle coz Kjo has announced it!N the producer knows the best 😉
