Andhadhun is one of the most popular thrillers of Bollywood cinema. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, and Radhika Apte, the film was praised by both the audience and critics. But do you know the film's initial casting plan was different? Recently, Varun Dhawan revealed that he was approached for the project, but due to prior commitments, he had to say no.
Varun Dhawan said no to Andhadhun
The actor shared the revelation during Dhawan's appearance on comedian Tanmay Bhatt's YouTube show. When asked about the successful films he regretted missing out on, Dhawan said, "I think a good movie. I think I said no to a good film."
When Bhatt asked him to identify the film, Varun replied, "Andhadhun. I was filming for something else. So I couldn't do it. And the original cast of the film was supposed to be me and Kangana."
