Imran-Ranbir Declined Zoya’s Film to Work Together

Imran Khan-Ranbir Kapoor at 54th Idea Filmfare Awards 2009

After watching Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor hosting the last Filmfare Awards, every filmmaker think of casting them together. However, both the actors also want to work together. But when Zoya Akhtar, who previously made Luck by Chance approached them with a script, they declined to do it as both of them wants to cast together first in their own home production. Imran and Ranbir are planning to start a production house together and will act together first in their own production only. They have often discussed about their venture taking time out from their busy schedules.

Both the actors were on advanced talks with Zoya for her film. They also had liked the script but the latest update is that they are not doing it. Instead actor Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol will replace them for the film.

Revealing more, one source said, “Zoya had approached Imran and Ranbir to star in her new film. Farhan Akhtar had already agreed to be a part of the film and Ranbir-Imran too had loved the script. Ranbir had made up his mind to star in the film. Imran loved his role and was more or less convinced about it. However, Ranbir and Imran eventually decided that if they have to star together it should first be a film which will be produced by them. Imran and Ranbir will soon produce a film together for which they have had discussions with a couple of directors, Imtiaz Ali being one of them. They politely declined Zoya’s offer. She has now finalised Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol in place of Imran and Ranbir. Zoya can’t wait to start shooting as the script is brilliant.”

When asked to Zoya Akhtar, she confirmed it and said, “I am still writing my script. I will think about my film’s cast only after I am done with the script.”
