Parineeti
Chopra
Refused
To
Work
With
Sushant
Singh
Rajput:
Parineeti
Chopra,
who
has
proved
her
talent
with
some
remarkable
performances,
has
been
in
the
headlines
for
her
wedding
with
AAP
leader
Raghav
Chadha.
In
the
past,
filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap
had
revealed
that
he
was
initially
considering
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
for
the
film
"Hasee
Toh
Phasee," which
was
released
in
2014.
However,
Sushant
signed
a
three-film
deal
with
Yash
Raj
Films,
and
his
first
project
with
them
was
"Shuddh
Desi
Romance,"
where
he
was
paired
opposite
Parineeti
Chopra.
And
now,
Kashyap
has
revealed
a
few
details
about
the
film
and
stated
that
Parineeti
initially
did
not
want
to
work
with
Sushant.
Parineeti
Chopra
refused
to
work
with
SSR
as
he
was
a
TV
actor
Speaking
to
journalist
Faye
D'Souza
candidly,
Anurag
Kahyap
recently
opened
up
about
the
casting
of
his
film
Hasee
Toh
Phasee
and
revealed
that
his
first
choice
for
the
male
lead
was
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
However,
he
added
that
Parineeti
Chopra
refused
to
work
with
Sushant
because
he
was
a
television
actor.
For
the
unversed,
Siddharth
Mlahotra
was
later
signed
for
the
same
role.
Talking
about
the
same,
Kashyap
said,
"He
was
supposed
to
do
the
film
(Hasee
Toh
Phasee)
and
we
had
to
find
an
actress
and
we
reached
out
to
Parineeti
Chopra.
She
said
'I
don't
want
to
work
with
a
television
actor'.
So
we
explained
to
her
who
Sushant
Singh
is,
he
is
doing
Kai
Po
Che,
he
is
doing
PK,
and
by
the
time
Hasee
Toh
Phasee
comes
out,
he
will
not
just
be
a
television
actor."
He
also
revealed
that
SSR
then
went
on
to
work
with
Parineeti
Chopra
in
Shuddh
Desi
Romance,
which
was
his
first
YRF
film,
which
was
a
better
deal
than
his
film.
"And
she
was
doing
a
film
called
Shuddh
Desi
Romance
and
she
must
have
gone
and
spoken
to
YRF,
they
called
him
and
said
'Why
don't
you
come
and
do
Shuddh
Desi
Romance
and
not
do
that
film?' And
he
disappeared
on
us,"
he
said.
Netizens
slam
Parineeti
Chopra
for
refusing
to
work
with
SSR
A
clip
of
Anurag
from
the
interview
has
been
doing
the
rounds
on
Reddit,
evoking
harsh
reactions
from
netizens.
Unhappy
with
Parineeti's
attitude
towards
SSR
and
belittling
TV
actors,
many
called
her
out
for
rejecting
the
then-budding
actor
Sushant
Singh.
One
user
commented,
"During
Shuddh
Desi
Romance,
she
said
he
looks
like
a
truck
driver
and
didn't
want
to
do
the
intimate
scene",
while
another
wrote,
"You
know
how
she
said
she
would
never
marry
a
politician
and
then
did
that?
I
have
a
sneaky
feeling
he's
going
to
be
of
use
to
her
a
little
later
on
and
she
knows
it."
