Shahid Kapoor shared that he was offered to play the role of Karan Singhania, which was played by Siddharth.
Actor Shahid Kapoor recently shared that he was approached by the makers of the 2006 blockbuster 바카라Rang De Basanti바카라 for a part in the film, however, he had to eventually turn it down due to date issues. Headlined by Aamir Khan, 바카라Rang De Basanti바카라 was directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. It featured an ensemble cast including Siddharth, Atul Kulkarni, Sharman Joshi, Kunal Kapoor and Soha Ali Khan among others.
During his appearance on Neha Dhupia바카라s talk show, 바카라No Filter Neha 6바카라, the actor shared that he was offered to play the role of Karan Singhania, which eventually was played by Siddharth, thereby marking his Hindi debut. 바카라I regret not doing the film. They wanted me to play the role of Siddharth. I cried while reading the script and loved it, but unfortunately, I couldn바카라t make time for it,바카라 said Shahid.
Not to miss, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra even struggled a lot to cast. In his autobiography, 바카라The Stranger in the Mirror바카라, the filmmaker had written how Hrithik Roshan was his first choice for Siddharth바카라s role. However, things didn't work out. Then, Abhishek Bachchan was also approached for the same, but he refused the film. A month before the shooting, the makers finally ended up casting Siddharth, and he certainly proved to be a right fit.
On the work front, Shahid was last seen in the romantic comedy 바카라Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya바카라, co-starring Kriti Sanon. The film has been faring well at the box office.
