Imran Khan |
Saif Ali Khan |
Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty would be
acting opposite Imran Khan in Cocktail, only if he had yes yes to director Homi
Adajania. However, Saif Ali Khan took his place.
According to director Homi Adajania, Saif
was taken in the movie only because Imran said NO.
“Saif was not the first choice. Imran was
supposed to do it but he was not sure if he wanted to do it at that point of a
time,” Homi Adajania told.
“As Saif is the producer, he was going
through the scripts; he read it and loved it. So, it worked out pretty well and
that is how he came on board,” he told.
In Homi Adajania’s debut movie too, Saif
played the lead. Homi debuted with “Being Cyrus”, which had Dimple Kapadia and
Boman Irani too.
“Cocktail” too has Dimple-Boman, playing
prominent roles.
Explaining their presence in the cast, he told,
“Dimple and Boman are also there in the film and it is not like they were in
‘Being Cyrus’ so are part of this film as well. It is not a matter of familiarity
but using talented actors who fit the bill.”
