Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan has uncovered he refused to star in Rajkumar Hirani’s blockbuster PK since he had committed to his upcoming film "Kapoor & Sons".
“When I was approached by the film producer, I totally lost my mind because I got such a good opportunity. But unfortunately, I couldn't commit as I had already given my commitment to "Kapoor & Sons". I just let any opportunities go when I am aware of all the aspects, but I regret it when I've to leave an opportunity due to commitment problems, which is in the case of PK,” said Fawad.
The actor was offered the role of the Pakistani character in the film, who falls in love with Anushka Sharma’s character. The role then arrived into Sushant Singh Rajput’s lap. The film, starring superstar Aamir Khan, went on to become the highest-grossing film in the history of Hindi cinema, collecting more than Rs300 crore at the box office.
Fawad’s debut film Khoobsurat had released only three months before PK and he could have two releases in 2014 if he had done PK. The gap between Khoobsurat and Kapoor & Sons would not have seemed so big, considering he did not have any release in 2015.
"Kapoor & Sons", directed by Shakun Batra and also starring Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt, is releasing on 18 March.
