Aditya Roy Kapur came in shorts, chappals with socks: Director Mohit Suri recalls meeting Aashiqui 2 star for first time
Filmmaker Mohit Suri has been basking in the success of his recently released film, Saiyaara, these days. Suri is best known for directing Aashiqui 2, which has received cult status over the years. The director recently recalled meeting Aditya Roy Kapur for the first time during the casting process of their 2013 musical romantic drama. Mohit Suri remembers his first meeting with Aditya Roy Kapur In a recent podcast with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Mohit Suri shared an anecdote of his first meeting with Aditya Roy Kapur during the making of Aashiqui 2. Suri took us back to its casting days when the Aashiqui 2 team had organized a talent hunt to choose the lead pairs for the 2013 movie. One of Mohit Suri's assistants had invited Aditya Roy Kapur to meet the director. Suri recalled that the actor didn't even know him back then. Kapur went to meet the filmmaker after Ranbir Kapoor advised him to do so. Recalling his first interaction with the Aashiqui 2 star, Mohit Suri shared that he showed up in shorts and a shirt and had chappals with socks on. "Main jab usse baat kar raha tha, wo ek revolving chair mein ghum raha tha (While I was talking to him, he was spinning around in a revolving chair)," the director added. Here's how Aditya Roy Kapur impressed Mohit Suri for the role in Aashiqui 2 In the same podcast, Mohit Suri recounted that while his assistants were "offended" by Aditya Roy Kapur's behavior, he had a different perspective. The Saiyaara director was impressed by Kapur's casual style of coming on a bike and imagined him as Rahul Jaykar arriving in a Range Rover. A brief about Aashiqui 2 Produced under the banners of Vishesh Films and T-Series Films, Aashiqui 2 delved into a turbulent romantic relationship between Rahul Jaykar, a failing musician, and Aarohi Keshav Shikre, an aspiring singer. Aditya Roy Kapur played the role of Rahul, and Shraddha Kapoor was cast as his love interest, Aarohi, in the 2013 release. It turned out to be a blockbuster. Aashiqui 2 was a spiritual successor to Aashiqui, which was released in 1990.

Aditya Roy Kapur Came For Aashiqui 2 Audition In Shorts And Chappals, Recalls Mohit Suri
Mohit Suri said that he believes the best casting often happens when the camera isn't rolling. He also shared an interesting story behind casting Aditya Roy Kapur for Aashiqui 2. Filmmaker Mohit Suri is currently basking in the success of his recently released film Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The director has often mentioned that he was about to reject Ahaan for the role of Krish Kapoor. However, his perspective changed when Ahaan let his guard down off-camera—only then did he truly see the character in him. Similarly, Mohit Suri also shared an interesting behind-the-scenes story behind casting Aditya Roy Kapur for Aashiqui 2. He recalled that the actor's casual demeanour offended his assistants, however, Suri saw something different. While speaking with Siddharth Kannan, Mohit Suri recalled how casually Aditya Roy Kapur came for the audition of Aashiqui 2. He said that initially a nationwide talent hunt was held to discover new faces for the film. However, that turned out to be a disaster. 'Then suddenly, one of my assistants called Aditya Roy Kapur. I think Aditya didn't even know who I was. He had no idea. I think Ranbir (Kapoor) told him, 'Go meet him, he's a good director." Aditya showed up in shorts, chappals with socks, and a shirt. And while I was talking to him, he was spinning around in a revolving chair." He further added that his assistants were 'offended' and found his behaviour unprofessional. However, Mohit Suri was convinced he saw his character Rahul Jaykar come to life. 'All my assistants were very offended, wondering what kind of behaviour this was. But in my mind, I was thinking- this guy has come here on a bike. If this same guy had arrived in a Range Rover, he would be my character, Rahul Jaykar. So I believe the best casting happens when the camera isn't rolling," said Mohit Suri. Aashiqui 2, starring Aditya and Shraddha Kapoor, was directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Mahesh Bhatt, Mukesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under the banners Vishesh Films and T-Series Films. The film centered around a turbulent romantic relationship between a failing singer Rahul Jaykar and aspiring singer Aarohi Keshav Shirke. The film released in 2013, and became a huge success at the box office. First Published: July 19, 2025, 16:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
