Did you know who was to play Jayeshbhai Jordaar before Ranveer Singh was finalised?

An old Hindi saying goes that destiny decides the fate of one’s achievements.

The same is true for movie roles.

If Abhishek Bachchan had not said no to Lagaan repeatedly, Aamir Khan would not have been the lucky actor.

Jayeshbhai Jordaar, which stars Ranveer Singh was originally meant for Ayushmann Khurrana.

According to a source close to the project, “Adi Chopra had decided on Ayushmann for the role. But then Ranveer showed a keen interest in playing Jayeshbhai. He insisted that he was the right fit for the role. Adi agreed after much persuasion to sign Ranveer and Ayushmann was duly informed that he was no more a part of the project.”
