Cinekriya

Jab We Met is one of the cult classic movies. And it’s most loved by the youngest generations. Recently director of Jab We Met spoke about his plans for the movie. Also, he mentioned about the lead actor.

Jab We Met was released in the year 2007. This movie starred Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles. During the shooting of this movie, Kareena Kapoor and Shahid were the most popular couple in Bollywood.

Imtiaz Ali on casting Bobby Deol for Jab We Met

Tamasha movie director Imtiaz Ali was interested in casting Bobby Deol for the movie. However, things won’t go the way he had expected.

Bobby Deol was getting bigger opportunities from big production houses. So Imtiaz said let’s not do it together. So Bobby Deol and Imtiaz missed the opportunity to work together.

However, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena were destined to do this movie. This movie has garnered so much love and respect around the world.

What if Bobby Deol could have been part of Jab We Met?

Well, you might be thinking. Is it really important to imagine something that never happened?

Maybe, Yes! As we all know Shahrukh Khan could have been part of 3 Idiots, Munna Bhai MBBS, and many other big projects. However, he missed the opportunity. Similarly, if Bobby Deol could have done the Jab We Met it might have taken his career to somewhere we could never imagine.

We know the acting potential Bobby has but sometimes getting the right script and a good project is important. If he had done Jab We Met maybe things could have gone wrong but with such a great script I still feel it would have been a new beginning for him.

The story of Aditya Kashyap and Geet Dhillon won our hearts

Though an ex-couple Kareena and Shahid had shared the greatest chemistry of all time while being in the relationship. Their chemistry in the movie Jab We Met was cute, refreshing, curious, and exciting. The way they portrayed the characters of Aditya and Geet constantly keeps us on our toes to find self-love.

Well, Aditya is completely opposite to Geet’s bubbly personality sometimes makes us wonder why we need Geet and Aditya in a relationship.

Jab we met is not just a story of Aditya Kashyap and Geet Dhillon. It’s a story of us. It’s the story of all the beautiful couples around the world.

Imtiaz also revealed that he was keen to cast Sunny Deol in Highway

Bobby Deol’s brother and Gadar 2 actor Sunny Deol was also considered by Imtiaz Ali. Imtiaz Ali revealed that he was keen to cast Sunny Deol, Opposite Alia Bhatt in the movie Highway. However late the role was performed by Randeep Hooda.

Highway was one of the most critically acclaimed movies in Alia Bhatt’s career. I would have loved to see Sunny Deol in the movie Highway. But I feel Randeep Hooda showed us why he deserves more chances in the movie.

From Jab We Met to Jab Harry Met Sejal, we came a long way

Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal weren’t able to weave their magic at the box office. However, the story of Sejal and Harry did win many hearts. Maybe Imtiaz Ali lost a trick with the biggest superstar in the movie. I still feel the audience just underestimated the movie like they did with Tamasha without giving it a try.

Where Aditya and Geet explored many aspects, Harry and Sejal simply touched our hearts.

I’m excited to see Imtiaz Ali’s next venture. What about you?
