There are always those iconic roles that you can’t imagine another actor playing on the big screen. Such are the roles played by Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh and Ranveer Singh in Kapil Dev’s biopic 83. But did you know that Arjun Kapoor was the first choice for both Kabir Singh and 83?
Back in 2017, Arjun revealed that he missed out on playing cricket legend Kapil Dev in the Kabir Khan directorial 83. Earlier, Ranveer Arjun was on the makers’ wish list. However, Ranveer played the part and turned out well.
When Arjun was asked if he was disappointed at being replaced by Ranveer in ’83, he had told reporters, “I don’t think it’s a question that needs to be answered because first of all it’s not something that I do. There are too many aspects and factors when people are connected and names are put in movies, a lot of misunderstandings happen. This is not the right place and time.” He further said that it would be unfair of him to talk and disparage the film.
Similarly, in 2020, Arjun spoke of being considered for the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial Kabir Singh. He said that while the producers had him in mind for the titular role, the director had already entrusted the role to Shahid Kapoor.
“It didn’t get to the stage where I could choose or not. When the rights were acquired by (producers) Ashwin (Varde) and Murad (Kethani), who made Mubarakan, they acquired with me in mind. Sandeep Vanga, the director met Shahid and he had seen the film before and they decided to make the film together,” Arjun said at an event.
Well, it was quite mature of Arjun to accept his fate and move on without any resentment.
