Kai Po Che was one of the most successful movies of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s career and recently casting director Mukesh Chhabra revealed how he met Sushant and how he got the role in Kai Po Che.
He said, “My first interaction with him was at a coffee shop. Before that, I had met him once briefly because, in this industry, many people meet you for work, but I didn’t register him at the time.”
After seeing Sushant in serial Pavitra Rishta, Chhabra felt that he had potential so he asked him to audition for Kai Po Che. He said, “He was casually chilling with friends when I asked if he would come for a screen test for Kai Po Che. He was so down-to-earth and simply said, ‘Yes, sure sir, I will come.’ He then auditioned, and the rest, as they say, is history.”
Mukesh Chhabra also reveals that some other actors who are big names now also auditioned for the role. He said, “Vijay Varma, Ayushmann Khurrana, Ali Fazal, Angad Bedi, and many other actors also auditioned. It was a fantastic and memorable experience casting for the film. I had a small office back then, and all of them came to audition. Today, they are all so successful.
Sushant Singh Rajput was certainly a great actor and he will always be missed.
