Imran Khan on Bollywood casting process

In an interview with Samdish Bhatia, Imran spoke about how casting decisions are made in Bollywood. He revealed that he was not the first choice for Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola, which also starred Anushka Sharma. Director Vishal Bhardwaj had initially approached Ajay Devgn for the role. However, Ajay exited the film during the preparation stage, and Imran was brought on board. According to Imran, Vishal did not cast him because he was the ideal fit, but because his presence helped secure a certain budget for the film.
