This film was blockbuster hit in 2005, starred Rani Mukerji, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan was the first choice for male lead... film is....
In the glamorous world of cinema, a lot goes on behind the scenes to make a film work. Besides the many factors that can impact a film's success, casting is one of the most integral parts that can make or break it. Even with a good storyline, it's crucial to have the right actors who can bring it to life on screen and resonate with the audience. Imagine your favourite movie with a completely different cast and the absence of the co-stars chemistry that you hailed for. Wouldn't that change the entire film for you?'
One such similar tale happened with a blockbuster movie that came out 20 years ago. The lead actor of this movie wasn't the first choice of the filmmaker, however, it eventually went to another star and turned to give him massive fame and appreciation. The film we are talking about is none other than 'Bunty Aur Babli'. This Shaadi Ali's film featured Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in lead. However, Abhishek Bachchan wasnt the first choice for the lead in fact, it was Actor Hritik Roshan who was intially chosen for the fllm and he even worked with Shaadi Ali on the script for a few months but then eventually didnt do it.
In an interview speaking about Bunty Aur Babli, Shaad Ali revealed: 'Hrithik was our first choice. We also worked with him on the script for a few months Rakesh ji really liked the scrpit and he wanted Hritik to sign it' however, Hritik Roshan had his reservation in potarying a role of a small town boy thats why he didnt take it further.
Even though Hritik didn't sign up for the film, he still made his contribution to the film. Shaad revealed that during the short span of their collaboration for this film, Hritik gave some creative inputs which helped in film's development. He suggested that Bunty's character should be superman, having a larger than life feel to him and that he shouldnt return to his normal life. Hence, in the end of the film, another scam surfaces keeping the character's con legacy alive.
At the end this film finally went to Abhishek Bachchan with Rani Mukerji in lead, who was the first and the last choice of filmmaker. Being one of the top hits of 2005, this year also starred Bachchan union for the song 'Kajra Re' starring Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. This track still resonates with the audience and one of the top picks for wedding performances.
This film was a celebration of great character, strong performance and iconic numbers. It also speaks about how one star's film rejection can turn into another star's redemption.
