Actor Fawad Khan says he had to refuse a role in Rajkumar Hirani’s blockbuster PK, since he had already committed to working on Kapoor & Sons.
“When I was approached by the filmmaker, I completely lost my mind because I got such a good opportunity. But unfortunately, I could not commit as I had already given my commitment to Kapoor & Sons. I only let any opportunities go when I am aware of all the aspects, but I regret it when I have to leave an opportunity due to commitment issues, which is in the case of PK,” he said.
The Pakistani actor was offered the role of the Pakistani character who falls in love with Anushka Sharma’s character in PK. The role was then given to Sushant Singh Rajput. The film, also starring actor Aamir Khan, went on to become the highest-grossing film in the history of Hindi cinema, collecting more than Rs3 billion (Dh164 million) at the box office.
Khan’s debut film, Khoobsurat, released just three months before PK in 2014, and taking up the project would have meant two releases in the same year; instead, his project Kapoor & Sons comes after a year of no releases.
Don’t miss it: Kapoor & Sons is out in the UAE on March 17.
