Ranbir Kapoor’s Bollywood debut movie ‘Saawariya‘ gained him a lot of appreciation and fans from all over the country.
But, not many know that Ranbir was not the first choice for the movie. Who was? Let’s find out.
Prateik Babbar was the first choice for Saawariya but unfortunately, he could not do the film.
As per reports, Prateik revealed in an interview that he could not do the film because he was in rehab. He says, “Actually, I have a funny story. Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was calling my house when I was 18 years old, when I was in rehab, for Saawariya. I was too young, I was in rehab so it couldn’t have worked out. But my grandparents told me a few years later.”
“I never wanted to be an actor. I just stumbled into it and it became my calling. Since both my folks were actors – and good actors. I wanted to be a rockstar at that time, far away from the world of acting. I wanted to grow my hair, wear eye make-up, face make-up and scream on stage. Before that, I wanted to be a cricketer,” Prateik added further.
Prateik made his acting debut with Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, and will be next seen in Bachcchan Paandey
