Actor Imran Abbas from Pakistan talked about turning down offers from Rajkummar Hirani, Mahesh Bhatt, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali for roles in projects such Heeramandi, PK, and Aashiqui 2.
In his interaction for Arry Digital's YouTube channel, Imran said as per HT, ¡°Career wise main peeche mud ke dekhta hun, Aashiqui jaise film chodh di, sab kehte hai, ¡®Aashiqui chodh di, itni badi film, aree Ram Leela ko tumne na keh diya ki unko.¡¯ PK mein ho Sarfaraz wala role tha, Heeramandi jo abhi inki film aa rahi hai Sanjay Leela Bhansali ki, wo toh maine mana nahi ki thi, shelf ho gayi thi. Guzaarish ek film thi jo Aditya Roy Kapur waala role tha. (When I look back at my career, I rejected a film like Aashiqui 2. People keep telling me how could I say no to Aashiqui 2 and Ram-Leela. I was also offered Sarfaraz's character in Rajkummar Hirani's PK. Although I didn't say no to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, it got shelved. Aditya Roy Kapur's role in Guzzarish was first offered to me as well).¡±

He also added, "Aashiqui 2 sabse bada project tha. Ab toh har koi keh raha hota hai ki mujhe bhi Aashiqui offer huyi, aap Mahesh Bhatt se jake pooch lijiye that the only official offer made by the director Mohit Suri and the producer, wo sirf mujhe hi unhone ki thi. Lekin log mujhe ehsaas dilane ki kosish karte hai ki ye kya kar diya, wo toh itni badi film thi aur kaunsi film kar ke aa gaye, wo itni hit nahi huyi. Bhai please aap mujhe depress karne ki kosish na karein, main nahi hounga (Now everybody claims that they were offered Aashiqui 2. But you can confirm with Mahesh Bhatt and Mohit Suri that the only official offer came to me. But people keep telling me how could OI let go these films as my other movies weren't as successful. Please don't try to discourage me because I won't be affected)."
