Jab We Met is a film that lives in our hearts rent-free. While some girls want to channel their inner ‘Geet’ and embrace self-love, others want to find their ‘Aditya’. However, the film, like any other blockbuster, had its fair share of controversies. This began with Bobby Deol revealing that he was the one who had curated the entire project. However, he was later replaced by Shahid Kapoor. The film’s director, Imtiaz Ali, also reflected back on what happened and cleared the air about what occurred during the casting of the film.
Imtiaz Ali revealed that he waited for Bobby Deol for two years before replacing him with Shahid Kapoor
Imtiaz Ali sat for an interview with Lallantop in 2023 and shared why he had to replace Bobby Deol from Jab We Met. The filmmaker narrates his side of the story and reveals that he wanted to make the film with Bobby, as they are really good friends. He added that he even waited for two years so the actor could finish his other projects. He stated:
“Socha Na Tha took five years to make and release. Meanwhile, I was trying to start a new film so Bobby was going to do Jab We Met. Then Socha Na Tha got over but I still didn’t make the film for two years because I wanted Bobby to start it.”
