Karan and Alia help Siddharth with online shopping

Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra says he loves shopping online and takes help from filmmaker Karan Johar and actress Alia Bhatt.

"I do shop online. It's very easy, very convenient and it has loads of options to choose from. Karan and Alia suggested me some online websites to shop. They suggest me some names," Sidharth told reporters.

The 32-year-old actor was speaking at the launch of New Era sports brand with Jabong here last night.

On the work front, the "Kapoor & Sons" actor is busy shooting for the remake version of the 1969 murder mystery "Ittefaq" opposite Sonakshi Sinha. The film originally featured Rajesh Khanna and actress Nanda.

The remake is being produced by Red Chillies, Dharma Productions and BR films.

Sidharth says the movie is more of an "adaptation" and pays a tribute to the suspense genre.

"It is a murder mystery like the old one. We are remaking it, we are adapting it, that's the correct word. It is adapted by the same family.. Abhay Chopra is directing it. It is a true homage to murder mystery genre.
