Pics: Alia and her Dragon director Ayan are having a lovely time in London

Mumbai: After hectic promotions followed by the success of ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, Alia Bhatt has finally got a much-needed break.

The actress will start ‘Dragon’ in October and has taken off to London to chill out.

However, despite the gap it seems Alia has begun her prep for ‘Dragon’, as her close friend, the director of the film Ayan Mukerji has also accompanied her to London.

Alia took to Instagram to post numerous pictures, incidentally one in which we see a dragon-like tattoo on Ayan as he poses with Alia and her friends.

Another adorable picture saw Ayan leaning on Alia’s shoulders as she browsed a magazine, while one picture saw Alia and her sister Shaheen hugging Ayan as they posed for a picture.

While it was always a known fact that Ayan is a close friend of Ranbir Kapoor, having directed him in ‘Wake Up Sid’ and ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, it seems that his friendship with Alia has also grown by leaps and bounds in recent times.

With his two close friends starring together in ‘Dragon’, the director would definitely have an enjoyable time on the sets of the film.
