Alia Bhatt was Varun Dhawan's first choice for Coolie No 1


Bollywood Hungama News Network

Mon Apr 1 11:08:53 IST

The first and according to insiders the "only choice for Karisma Kapoor's role in David Dhawan's remake of his own Coolie No 1 was Alia Bhatt. In fact the entire project was re-formatted to suit Varun Dhawan and Alia, as the millennial Govinda and Karisma.


But then Alia is completely immersed in her work commitments till the end of the year. More importantly, it was felt that the Alia-Varun pair must be rendered exclusive for the Dulhaniya' series.
Says a source, "Karan Johar has produced two films Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya and Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya in Varun-Alia Dulhaniya series and the third is planned. He would want to keep it exclusive to the series.

I thought Varun wanted to establish himself outside of Varia?

Maybe October and Sui Dhaaga box office scared him.

Sara is very similar to Karishma so I think this is a better casting.😆

Makes sense. Aloo would do top tier projects with strong roles. Dancing around trees and carrying tiffin boxes is more suitable for Sara and the likes 😛

That's the vibe a lot of people are getting. I'm not sure I believe this. Wanting Alia and Shraddha for Judwaa2 was more believable at the time. But seeing as how that movie became a big hit without Varia there's no need for Alia here.

Lol aloo needs to stop her PR tactics , don't think she was ever in the running. Don't think Varun wants their pair to be repeated so much
