Shahid Kapoor was the first choice for Hrithik starrer Bang Bang


As we know, Hrithik and Katrina are currently shooting for Bang Bang, a remake of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz action romance 'Knight and Day'. However, many are not aware that the first choice for this role was Shahid Kapoor.

Apparently, a Fox Studios producer was keen to cast Shahid after noticing him in Mausam. News is that Shahid's look was similar to Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and therefore the makers thought that he would fit in in this Knight and Day remake.

However, Shahid was apprehensive of all the possible comparisons with Tom Cruise and therefore chose Prabhudeva's R Rajkumar over this film.

The rest is history, and as we talk, Hrithik and Katrina are on their Delhi schedule of Bang Bang. Directed by Aanjana Aanjani director Siddharth Anand, the movie is slated to release this year on October 2.

Do you guys think that Shahid made a good decision by rejecting Bang Bang?

And his fans wonder why he's such a flop actor. Why would he turn down BB with box-office queen?

That's an old news. I remember looking forward to this movie before he turned down. It's a pinkvilla article right? They are more than a year late. 😆

Come on I remember how you guys all got excited the semi hit he had last year 😆
If he had this in his bag he would've had a blockbuster after 7 years

Erm, yeah. People usually get excited when hit by a good news.

Better be late than never. And he's young enough. Got plenty of time for another BB.

More than Shahid fans, you seem more worried for him. 😆
