Bollywood Films which were miscast

We love watching films every week, in fact waiting for some of the films is quite exhilarating too.  Promotions and appearance do make the project hotter! But have you sat through a disappointment and felt that the actor was wrongly cast and hence, the excitement gets jaded. We bring to you a list of films which could have done away with a better star cast.

 Nimrat Kaur in Airlift

Considering a rich wife’s character who is against her husband’s attempts to rescue fellow Indians out of the Kuwait – Iraq War, albeit for some time in the film. She has a change of heart.  Nimrat just didn’t look like the part. May be a younger, spirited actress could have been cast or even a newcomer as Akshay Kumar became the face of the film, Airlift.

      Vidya Balan in Shaadi Ke Side Effects

A happy married couple, Sid and Trisha, get pregnant with their first child and the problems surface as the husband is still not stable in his career.  Sid, selfishly adopts a bachelor lifestyle, avoiding his family commitments. Vidya Balan deals with her husband’s absence at home and even lies to him about her second pregnancy with the neighbor.  Vidya just didn’t seem apt for this role as it required a more ‘Woman of the house’ and a ‘new mother’ kind of a portrayal. May be, Anushka Sharma or Kangana Ranaut could have stepped in to her shoes.

      Katrina Kaif in Rajneeti

Inspired loosely after Draupadi / Gandhi family as the word went around about Indu’s character, Katrina could not do much to justify her part as the lady who gets into politics due to a family conspiracy.  May be, Vidya Balan or Rani Mukherjee could have worked better for the film.

       Imran Khan in Katti Batti

He is good in parts, but fails to convince us on a whole as the madly in love architect, Maddy. In fact, all actresses who were approached before Kangana, also requested Imran to be replaced.

We loved him the most in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Delhi Belly.

  Tusshar Kapoor in The Dirty Picture

        Tusshar Kapoor as Ramakanth was way too simple to do justice to the passionate love affairs of Silk. He looked like a complete mismatch between experienced performers.

    Do you recollect another performance which could have had a different cast. Let us know.
