Picture this: You’re all set to dazzle the big screen, but suddenly, poof! Your role evaporates into thin air. That’s precisely the dastaan of our man, Adi Irani, who got a taste of Bollywood’s unpredictability, courtesy of Zoya Akhtar’s flick, Dil Dhadakne Do. Oh, Bollywood! Kabhi khushi, kabhi gham, right?
Adi Irani’s Audition Adventures
Adi Irani, a name you might recognize from hits like Welcome and Baazigar, recently spilled some beans. And boy, what beans! In an exclusive with Filmymantra Media, Adi unleashed his inner thespian, recounting how he auditioned not once, but twice, for a role in Dil Dhadakne Do. Like a true Bollywood saga, the plot thickens—Zoya Akhtar herself gave him a call back, asking, “Sir, ek aur baar audition de sakte ho?” (Sir, can you give one more audition?) And of course, the man obliged, leaving quite the impression. 🎭
Adi, being the humble soul he is, even told Zoya, “Matlab, I’m not desperate to be in the whole film, just give me a role with some dum.” Apparently, Zoya nodded along, promising to ring him only if she found a suitable role. Ah, Bollywood promises—kabhi kabhi break, kabhi kabhi heartbreak! 💔
The Great Bollywood Vanishing Act
Fast forward a bit, and Adi’s dreams of cruising through the film on a luxury liner were dashed. Picture this: Adi is busy shooting for Welcome Back, and he gets a confirmation from none other than Anil Kapoor about doing Dil Dhadakne Do. But alas, the winds changed course. Zoya, in a twist worthy of an Andaz Apna Apna sequel, replaced him with Parmeet Sethi. And like many in B-town, she chose silence over confrontation. Arre yaar, industry mein toh sab diplomat ban gaye hain! 🤔
A Quick Peek at Dil Dhadakne Do
For those who missed the cruise, Dil Dhadakne Do was Zoya Akhtar’s family comedy-drama. It sailed under the Excel Entertainment flag, with a starry crew including Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, and more. And guess who provided the voice-over? Aamir Khan! But despite the star power, the film only managed a lukewarm box office reception, raking in ₹150.05 crore worldwide. Box office ki to baatein alag hain, bhai!
Adi Irani: The Man, The Myth
Let’s not forget, Adi Irani isn’t just any actor. He’s the brother of Bollywood diva Aruna Irani and has graced us with performances in films like Chori Chori Chupke Chupke and Anari No. 1. Not to mention his TV exploits in series like Pradhanmantri and Ssshhhh…Phir Koi Hai. Truly, a man of many talents!
