Shahid Kapoor enjoyed newfound fame with his portrayal as Kabir Singh. His aggression and the vulnerable side proved his versatility like never before. But did you know, the film was initially offered to Sushant Singh Rajput? Even Arjun Kapoor was in the run but both the actors rejected the offer and the romantic flick eventually went to Shahid Kapoor.
It feels like Ranveer Singh was tailor-made for this role. But the makers initially felt Sushant Singh Rajput and Vaani Kapoor’s pairing after Shuddh Desi Romance could do wonders. Unfortunately, things didn’t pan out as expected and the film eventually landed in Ranveer’s lap.

Raabta is a celebrated film and one of the major reasons behind it is Sushant and Kriti Sanon’s pairing. Of course, filmmakers wanted to recreate that magic and Half Girlfriend makers tried their luck. But when the duo said no, it was Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor who were cast!
Half Girlfriend
AndhaDhun
Sushant Singh Rajput was a phenomenal actor. His filmography screamed versatility and AndhaDhun could have been just another feather in his hat! We have no idea why things between Sriram Raghavan and SSR did not work out but it did turn out to be Ayushmann Khurrana’s gain!
