Meanwhile, at the chat show, the Laal Singh Chaddha actor Aamir Khan revealed that Kareena Kapoor wasn’t the first choice for the film.

This Actress Was The First Choice For Laal Singh Chaddha
The Laal Singh Chaddha duo recently appeared at Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan 7, during which actor Aamir Khan revealed that Kareena Kapoor wasn’t the first choice for Laal Singh Chaddha. It all started when filmmaker Karan Johar asked the Dangal actor about the rumors that Kareena Kapoor Khan wasn’t the first choice for Laal Singh Chaddha.
In his recent appearance on Karan Johar’s chat show, Aamir said, “No because we were actually thinking about age group. Both the characters have a journey from 18 to 50 years of life. Initially, we thought the lesser the de-aging the better. So only I should de-age. We were looking at the age group of 25 (years). So that the actress can look younger and older.”
Continuing further, he added, “The casting director mentioned some new actress, who was a newbie. He showed us her video. Kareena too was in that ad. We were looking at the video for someone else. Advait (Advait Chandan) and I were watching and that girl was also very good; but when we saw Kareena in that, we were lost in Kareena. Both of us looked at each other and we said Kareena. We didn’t think of her originally because we thought (of casting someone who was) 25. We were stuck in that 25, which was a stupid thing. She too can get de-aging with me and whatever is required and I’m so glad we saw that ad because I cannot imagine anyone else in this role other than Kareena.”
Meanwhile, now the netizens are hinting at the Samrat Prithviraj actress and Miss Universe Manushi Chhillar. Many social media users are convinced that the ‘newbie’ as mentioned by Aamir in Koffee With Karan is none other than Manushi Chhillar herself, who appeared with Kareena Kapoor Khan in a 2018 commercial for Malabar Gold, a jewelry brand.
Kareena Kapoor and Aamir Khan, who have previously worked together in the blockbuster film 3 Idiots are now gearing up for the release of Laal Singh Chaddha. It will hit the theatres on 11 August, clashing with Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan.
Meanwhile, the Koffee With Karan episode featuring them will premiere on Hostar on Thursday at 12 AM.
