Katrina Kaif, and not Deepika Padukone, was the first choice for Ayan Mukerji’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (YJHD), which completed ten years on May 31.

So, what actually happened? A source very close to the hit project revealed, “You’ve heard correctly. It was Katrina whom Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji approached to play the female lead Naina in YJHD. Katrina was finalized. Her dates were discussed and blocked. But then she suddenly decided not to do it.”

What happened? “Katrina was offered Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom 3. And the dates required by Aditya Chopra clashed with YJHD. Katrina had never worked with Aamir Khan before. After sleepless nights she picked Dhoom 3 over YJHD. Karan assured her it was okay since Adi’s project was to Karan a family project.”

Considering the minuscule length of her role in Dhoom 3, Katrina must have regretted her decision. If she had chosen the other one, she would have figured in nearly every frame of YJHD.

Another behind-the-scenes story on YJHD: Aditya Roy Kapur, who played Ranbir Kapoor’s bestie, was almost typecast as the second lead after this film. So much so that Aditya nearly lost his game-changing opportunity as the main lead in Aashiqui 2.

It was Mahesh Bhatt, who insisted on Aditya in Aashiqui 2, although everyone told Mahesh that Aditya was “no hero material”.

Significantly, Aashiqui 2 is the only successful film of Aditya Roy Kapoor as the solo lead.
