Kunal Kohli says that Saif tumors after 3 top stars rejected the classic
Director Kunal Kohli revealed that ‘Hum Tum’ was originally introduced to Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan and Vivek Oberoi, before Saif Ali Khan played the role. On 16 May, the prestigious romantic comedy was re -released in theaters.
Director Kunal Kohli recently revealed that Saif Ali Khan was not the first choice for ‘Hum Tom’. Bhumika was previously introduced to Hrithik Roshan, Vivek Oberoi and Aamir Khan.
In a recent interview with Radio drugKohli revealed that Hrithik was the first actor he had contacted. “Hrithik said, ‘I like the script very much, it’s beautiful, but I don’t think I will be able to close it. I am not in the right frame of the brain. Can you wait for one or two years? Let some of my films be released first – after that, I will see if I can do this. I know that I know that some of my upcoming films are going to flop. I am just a bad phase.’ He was very confused.
Aamir Khan was in the next line. However, he was passing through a personal rough patch due to his separation from Reena Dutta. Aamir said, “I am not in the right frame of the brain to listen to the script. So I will not hear it.” Then we contacted Vivek.
After Khan’s role being rejected, the film-producer then approached Vivek Oberoi, who initially agreed, even giving dates. But later he supported and requested the script change, which the manufacturers were not ready to do. Then Aditya Chopra suggested Saif Ali Khan for the role.
“Then Adi (Aditya Chopra) asked me,” Why don’t you think about Saif? ” I imagined him in every frame of the film and thought he would be fantastic.
Released in 2004, ‘Hum Tum’ acted in the lead to Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee, and told cartoonist Karan’s Sweet, Modern Love Story and strong-western Riya. The film also included veteran actors Rishi Kapoor, Kiron Kher, Rati Agnihotri, Jimmy Shergill and Isha Koppikar.
With a worldwide box office collection of Rs 41.38 crore, ‘Hum Tum’ was both important and commercial success.
