The Last LaughBoth director and star were reportedly firm in their choice of the leading lady for the film they’re making together. The director wanted to cast his frequent heroine and muse, insisting that he owed her a “big one” after she’d trusted him blindly on practically all of his smaller films. The star was leaning towards his actress girlfriend, insisting (correctly) that she’s incredibly talented and would raise the profile of the film by her mere presence. According to well-placed sources the back-and-forth lasted months. Eventually it was the big shot producer bankrolling the project who is believed to have stepped in and reminded them that both choices—the director’s and actor’s—were too young for the role. Apparently he suggested other prominent options. As it turns out, their search has ended with a top leading lady who just happens to be the star’s ex. Ahem.

Guess:

Director/Actor: Luv Ranjan/Ranbir

Big Shot Producer: Bhushan Kumar

Director Choice: Nushrat Bharucha

Actor Choice: Alia Bhatt

Final Pick: Deepika Padukone

Nushrat is the same age as Deepika so how is she considered too young for the role but Deepika is not? They both are 33.

The (correctly) in brackets must be Kjo touch! Blinds mein bhi promotion!Jo bhi ho Kalank is this years first dud.Even with Alia raising the profile of the film LOL.So Nusrat and Alia are too young-so they wanted an "older" star..who just happily stepped in.Thodi thandak mili hogi likhte waqt:D

That doesn't make him a bigshot. He needs stars to make his projects look A grade, A grade stars don't need him. A listers work with him for money, he pays them more than the actors deserve.

I just checked. Nushrat is 1985 born while Deepika is 1986 born. Nushrat will be 34 this year. She is older than Deepika. So how is she too young for the role but DP is not?

It might be a nice way of saying she isn't a big enough name for the film.

This is normal. One day, media would call Radhika Madan younger than Alia coz Madan is a late bloomer.

Kjo was complaining about negativity during BV-There was hardly any negativity.The film got quite good reviews.

.

Negativity kya hota hai,Kjo is seeing now.Exhibitors,twitter celebs are using Avengers to bash Kjo.Kisi ne nahin chhoda.KRK too sheepishly joined,film pitne ke baad.

.

SOTY 2 is being ignored by all Kjo's chamcha's on twitter.I have not seen anything like this before.Dharma film-and there is silence!
