Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar’s Badhaai Do movie, a spiritual sequel of the 2018 release Badhaai Ho movie, was recently released on Netflix and the fans are loving it.
Badhaai Ho starred Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao, and Ayushamann Khurrana, but not many know that Neena and Gajraj were not the first choice for Badhaai Ho.
As per reports, Tabu and late Irrfan Khan were considered to portray Ayushmann’s parents in the comedy-drama film.
Amit Sharma had revealed in a 2018 interview that the duo themselves had said that they would not look convincing for the role and Tabu even suggested Neena’s name for the film.
While speaking to PTI, Amit had said, “When we thought of Irrfan and Tabu, we thought that they would be the best husband and wife. But both of them said though they’re relatable and have worked as pairs on screen but if we have a father who isn’t as fit and the mother slightly older, it’ll be more relatable.”
However, the directly later added that Neena and Gajraj felt more natural for the role and therefore everything worked out well.
