Fun Fact: Did You Know WHAT The Original CHOICE For ‘3 Idiots’ Cast Was?

Date:

Aaaaaalll is welllll…. now, don’t we all still secretly reassure ourselves with this dialogue when things get a little panicky?

Rajkumar Hirani’s comedy drama ‘3 Idiots is one of those utterly bingeable, sentimental movies that you can never be bored of watching.

Starring Aamir Khan, R Madhvan and Sharman Joshi, 3 Idiots went on to earn an impressive 4.60 billion collection at the box office.

However, as per reports, Hirani’s original cast for the film was supposedly Shahrukh Khan, John Abraham and Saif Ali Khan. Shah Rukh Khan was offered the role of Rancho (played by Aamir Khan) but he declined it in favour of “My Name Is Khan”.

Whoa…. imagine what this cast would’ve been like!

<em>Sanjay Dutt Arshad Warsi were also considered</em>

Even Sanjay Dutt was to have a cameo in the film, but that didn’t end up materializing. Arshad Warsi was offered both the roles of Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi but he turned it down, reportedly due to date issues. Arshad and Sanjay had both worked with Hirani for Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.

<em>WhoaAnushka Sharma had auditioned for 3 Idiots</em>

Also, Anushka Sharma had reportedly auditioned for 3 Idiots but the role eventually went to Kareena Kapoor! But Anushka still got to work with Hirani for PK, so all’s well that ends well.
