Alia will be joined by her friends and family members too, said a source from Disney which has produced the film. "Beauty And The Beast", starring Emma Watson, is among the most awaited family musicals this year. It will release in India on Friday. Directed by Bill Condon, the film also stars Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Stanley Tucci, Kevin Kline and Ewan McGregor. ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ actress Alia Bhatt says co-star Varun Dhawan is the most shy person! The film is a live-action remake of Disney's 1991 film of the same name, itself an adaptation of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's fairy tale. IANS
