GUESS WHO WAS THE FIRST CHOICE FOR KAALAKAANDI?

2017 was being touted as the year of Saif Ali Khan with three varied films in his kitty slated to release this year. However, destiny it seems had other plans. First up, even though Saif’s performance was appreciated, Rangoon tanked at the box office. Next up Chef too got a mix response from the audience and failed to create magic on the box office and now, finally, Kaalakandi has a release date but little did we all know that Saif Ali Khan wasn't the first choice for the role in Kaalakaandi. Oh yes! You read that right as the original choice for Saif's role was none other than the charmer from the neighboring country, Fawad Khan.

"Fawad was supposed to be one of the actors we talked about. It was around 2013. He was going to play the role Saif plays. But ultimately everything happens for a reason. No one could have done the role better than Saif,"  Director of the film, Akshat says.

Well, it seems that Fawad's loss is Saif's gain.

Kaalakaandi is scheduled to hit theatres on January 12, 2018.
