What's Happening Muzammil Ibrahim recently revealed that Ayan Mukerji wanted to cast him in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The model added that he was going to play Aditya Roy Kapur's role Avi in the film. Speaking of how Kiran Rao liked him in his debut film Dhokha, Muzammil told Siddharth Kannan, "Ayan liked me a lot. He told me that he was writing Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani keeping me in mind. He would often discuss casting with me, if he should take Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif... He would discuss this with me. We were very close. Deepika was the right cast for that film and I told him the same thing." He added, "What happened was... it went to the casting agents later on. And I hashed it out for a long time because there was a misunderstanding between me and Ayan for a long time as to why he didn't cast me."

When it came to the casting agents, they did a lot of favouritism," concluded the model. Muzammil On Hesitating To Call Ayan Muzammil further shared that he knew Ranbir and Ayan were close friends, which kept playing in his head. Confessing how he was not sure if he should call Ayan, he said, "I was thinking that since he hasn't given me a script, is my role too tiny?

Last Updated: Muzammil claimed that Ayan Mukerji assured him that he would give him the script of the film, but it never happened. Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani remains one of the most popular films to date. Released in 2013, the movie starred Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin in the lead. However, in one of his recent interviews, actor Muzammil Ibrahim claimed that when Ayan was writing his movie, he was considering him for the role of Avi – which was later played by Aditya Roy Kapur. 'Ayan liked me a lot. He told me that he was writing Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani keeping me in mind," Muzammil told Siddharth Kannan. Asked if this had anything to do with Deepika Padukone, who was in a relationship with him in the past, Ibrahim shared, 'This had nothing to do with her". However, he claimed that it was he who suggested Deepika's name for the movie. 'He would often discuss casting with me, if he should take Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif… He would discuss this with me. We were very close. Deepika was the right cast for that film and I told him the same thing," Muzammil said. Talking about what fell apart and why he was not a part of YJHD, Muzammil shared, 'What happened was… it went to the casting agents later on. And I hashed it out for a long time because there was a misunderstanding between me and Ayan for a long time as to why he didn't cast me."

'Ayan told me that he will give me the script to read. And the casting agents came in the way and what they did, and how they communicated between me and Ayan," he said. 'Ayan told me that I really wanted you in this film so obviously you feel… The casting agents really f**ked up things a lot. They have their own agendas and how they communicate things to the director. As long as things were between me and Ayan, we never had a slip.
