Not Ajay Devgn's nephew Aaman, this Salman Khan co-star was to debut in 'Azaad,' actor's mother reveals shocking details: 'For the first time in my life, I felt bad'
Abhishek Kapoor's Azaad marked the debut of Aaman Devgan and Rasha Thadani, alongside Ajay Devgn and Diana Penty. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor, this cinematic journey promised an intense tale of love and loyalty. But it failed at the box-office.
Dhoom 3 and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actor Siddharth Nigam's mother has now revealed shocking details about how her son was supposed to be a part of it. 'I took him along for the meeting. The entire script was narrated, and we waited for a year. I was happy because the film was good, and Siddharth would have had a strong launch in Bollywood. I really loved the script. But suddenly, after two years, Siddharth showed me the poster of Azaad,' she revealed.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
She added, 'He said, 'Mum, this has been released, and these are the people in the film.' Then we saw that the film starred Ajay Devgn's nephew and Rasha. For the first time in my life, I felt bad. When things like this happen, as a mother, it hurts. Then I realised both of them were star kids, and that made all the difference.'
Nigam's mother continued, 'There's no one to blame. This is the business industry, so there's no point in asking why they did it — they must have had their own reasons. It's more of a personal realisation and pain. You get your hopes up thinking something might work out. We wait for an entire year, and then we see the teaser. So after watching it, we just thought, 'Oh, okay. Let's move on.'
