Kabir Singh was the second highest grosser of 2019, with a whooping BO collection of ₹379.02 cr.
The career of lead actors Shahid & Kiara took off to a whole new level, but did you know Kiara was not the first choice for the role of Preeti?
Yes, you read that right! Kiara Advani wouldn’t have bagged the role of Preeti if Tara Sutaria wouldn’t have turned it down in the first place.
In a chat with Mumbai Mirror, Tara revealed that she had to opt out of Kabir Singh since it’s schedule was clashing with her debut movie in Student Of The Year 2.
Tara stated, “It’s a remake of a hit film (Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy) so it was bound to do well. As a woman, a human being and an artist, I know have a certain social responsibility, but as artists, we also have a certain artistic freedom and the right to express as we please. It’s on the audience as to how they interpret that. Personally, I am a fan of both Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh.”
Well someone wisely said, “One man’s loss is another man’s gain.” And it couldn’t have been more true in this case since we all know how Kiara Advani amazingly benefitted from the success of Kabir Singh.
Speaking to a leading news portal Director Sandeep Vanga had mentioned about signing Tara for the movie. He said “Tara is a trained singer and we believe her expressive nature will add to her appeal. With her looks, she fits the bill perfectly. We believe she will be able to pull off the role with elan.”
Can you imagine Tara in the role of Preeti? Do you think she would have pulled off the role better than Kiara? Do let us in the comments below!
