In Bollywoods unpredictable industry many talents get overnight fame and success but on the opposite spectrum are dozens of talented actors whose big breaks never see the light of day. Films change scripts are rewritten casting decisions are reversed and fortunes flip overnight. One moment you’re the hero. Next you’re out of the frame. And this conjecture is not just limited to fresh talents; even star kids are not spared from this uncertainty. One such actor whos been a legacy of royalty also became the victim of this end moment rejection and replacements not just once or twice but many times. The actor we are talking about is none other than Bobby Deol. Even after delivering many successful films Booby was signed for big fims and then replaced quietly without explanation. Some of these movies went on to become massive hits while others helped shape the careers of other actors. Here are 7 hit pictures in which Bobby Deol was replaced at the last minute. 1. Jab We Met Imtiaz Alis cult romantic film wasnt always meant for Shahid Kapoor. Bobby Deol was the makers original choice but just before the shoot he was dropped from the project. Years later Bobby opened up about how this shook him emotionally admitting that he felt broken from the inside. 2. Karan Arjun One of Bollywoods best-known duos — Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan — werent the first choice for this reincarnation drama. The Deol brothers Bobby and Sunny were in the running first. But fate intervened and both were replaced. 3. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani In this Karan Johar hit Bobby was shortlisted for the part that finally went to Kunaal Roy Kapur. The reasons for the recasting are unknown but this was yet another failure on Bobbys part. 4. Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi Bobby was said to be the first choice for this film. However he was dropped quietly and Sonu Sood replaced him. The producers never explained why Bobby was dropped even when there was some buzz regarding his casting. 5. Yuva Mani Ratnams politically oriented drama Yuva was penned with Bobby Deol in mind. Again before the movie went on the floors Bobby was shown the door. 6. Highway In Imtiaz Ali’s second film Bobby was again an early choice. The role later went to Randeep Hooda despite Bobby’s keen interest in the project. 7. 36 Chinatown Even after being cast in the lead Bobby was replaced without any public explanation. The reason for his exit remains unknown These were not just films but were some blockbuster films that could have redefined Boobys career trajectory. However instead of getting disappointed with these setbacks Booby proved himself time and again with projects like Aashram and Animal.
