It's been a while since Sara Ali Khan's big Bollywood debut has been in the news. The star kid is all set to follow the footsteps of mom Amrita Singh and dad Saif Ali Khan. And buzz has it that the 21-year-old has bagged a project with Dharma Productions.

But if a report in Pinkvilla is to be believed, Saif isn't too keen for his daughter to be launched by Karan Johar. The report further suggests that while Kareena Kapoor Khan is excited about Sara's big Bollywood debut, Saif doesn't want his daughter to become another Alia Bhatt.

A source was quoted as telling the website, "Kareena and Saif have been having some disagreements about Sara's career. But Saif really does not want Sara to follow Alia's footsteps. Kareena and her girl gang always talk about how Alia's career wouldn't be the way it is, if Karan hadn't launched her. The industry apparently thinks that KJo is too involved in Alia's career as he still keeps recommending her to big directors and mega projects. Saif does not wish for someone to have that kind of affect on Sara's career. He thinks she should be more independent."

The source added, "While Kareena understands Saif's line of thought, she feels one movie with Karan would not harm to Sara. She also promised Saif that she will make sure KJo does not get too involved in Sara's career."

While Sara's Bollywood project has been kept under the wraps, buzz has it that she will begin shooting for the film this year.
