Koffee With Karan 7: Did you know Kareena Kapoor Khan was not the first choice for Laal Singh Chaddha? Aamir Khan hints at the first choice
The Lagaan star revealed how he and Advait Chandan, the director of the film, had their casting director show them the videos of newbies to lock down the female lead.

The 5th episode of Koffee With Karan season 7 had the Reddit users in their excavation hats as they probably dug out the video that Aamir Khan referenced. The episode had many eye-catching moments but this was what made the viewers get on their toes.
On the recent episode of Koffee with Karan, the filmmaker questioned how Kareena Kapoor Khan wasn’t his choice for the film. To which the producer and lead actor of Laal Singh Chaddha agreed and went on to tell the story which broke the internet.
The Lagaan star revealed how he and Advait Chandan, the director of the film, had their casting director show them the videos of newbies to lock down the female lead. He said he had initially planned to cast in the age group of 25 years as the actress would have to be able to look younger and older as per the demand of the storyline.
Khan further explained how when they were tracking down another girl for the role, they had to watch a video of which Kareena was also a part. He further explained how it all went down by saying that the girl they initially had in mind was very good but then Kareena came into the scene and they both were lost.
He said that they both looked at each other and said Kareena.
The Reddit users were able to dig up an old 2018 commercial for Malabar Gold jewellery brand in which Manushi Chillar can be seen working alongside Kareena Kapoor. In the commercial, Manushi can be seen narrating her wedding day plans which made Kareena wish to marry again. The Reddit users believe this was the video the Laal Singh Chaddha star was referencing to.
The star had to come to Karan Johar’s couch alongside Kareena Kapoor to promote his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha, an official Hindi remake of Forrest Gump.
