Hrithik, Aamir and Vivek did not do this film: Then came Saif Ali Khan’s number and he got the National Award

People still remember the character of Saif Ali Khan in the 2004 romantic film Hum Tum, but Saif was not the first choice of this film. Recently, director Kunal Kohli told in an interview that for this role, Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan and Vivek Oberoi were first talked about.

Roll was first offered to Hrithik

Kunal Kohli told in an interview, ‘We first went to Hrithik. I had friendship with Hrithik. So first went to them. He read the script and said that I liked the script very fantastic. Hrithik said that I like this script very much. Then Hrithik said that I do not think I will be able to play this role.

Kunal Kohli further told that Hrithik clearly said that I will not be able to play this role. Right now I am not in the right mental state. Can you stay a year or two? Some of my films are released, I will see it after that. Hrithik also said that some of my films are coming and I know she will not run. I am in a very bad phase right now. Then Hrithik said that if you find someone else, then make a film with him.

Aamir was also given a script

After this, an attempt was made to narrate the script to Aamir Khan, but at that time he was upset due to separation from Reena Dutta. He clearly stated that he is not in a position to listen to the script.

Vivek Oberoi also spoke

Kunal Kohli said that then Vivek spoke to Oberoi. He said yes to the film first and also gave dates, but later started demanding changes in the script.

Kunal considers Saif right

Then after this Aditya Chopra told Kunal Kohli that why don’t you think about Saif Ali Khan? Kunal Kohli said that I thought of Saif in every scene of the film in 5 seconds and said that he would look great, but I asked that you will make it with Saif? He has no solo hero hit film. To which Aditya Chopra said that I believe Saif Ali Khan.

Kunal Kohli also told that I remember Hrithik and Suzanne had come on trial for the week -long week. Suzanne liked the film very much. Hrithik said that I am very happy that Saif did this. She was perfect choice, better than me. Hrithik also told Kunal Kohli that my film is also coming, do not know what will happen, but you have a super hit. Let us know that we were not only a hit, but Saif also received the National Award for this film.
