As reported, initially Chopra had reached Shahid Kapoor for the role eight months back but he refused to work in the film. Later Ranbir Kapoor was being considered for the role and was approached but he too gave a red signal due to his busy schedule. Grapevines have also been saying that there is a clash between both the Kapoors for the role. Whereas a close friend of Shahid is quoted saying that he had refused to work in the movie eight months back.
Further the source added that the said film is a love story and Shahid having been done Mausam few months back wants to work in some action movie now.
It has been learnt that Vidhu is still keen to rope in Ranbir and after the actor’s successful run with Rockstar, the former doesn’t want to let go of him. But Ranbir is said to be quite busy with his upcoming ventures. Chitthiyan is a two hero film and Sharman Joshi has been roped in for the second lead.
