Didn't
we
all
love
watching
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Deepika
Padukone,
Boman
Irani,
Sonu
Sood
and
Vivaan
Shah
in
the
same
frame?
Farah
Khan's
Happy
New
Year
was
one
quirky
film
that
audiences
loved
watching
in
theatre.
Even
though
the
film
got
trolled
by
many
netizens,
it
set
the
box
office
on
fire
with
its
crazy
collection.
But
did
you
know
that
actor
John
Abraham
was
also
supposed
to
be
a
part
of
Happy
New
Year?
In
an
interview
with
a
media
portal,
when
Farah
was
asked
if
John
was
approached
by
her
for
the
film,
she
had
said,
"John
was
approached
and
was
really
excited.
I
guess
some
people
are
only
excited
beforehand.
People
also
get
a
bit
nervous
as
it
has
an
ensemble
cast.
It
is
one
of
the
few
ensemble
movies
where
everyone
has
good
part
to
play.
I
can't
say
that
Boman's
role
is
not
important."
In
another
interview,
when
John
was
asked
about
the
same,
he
shared
his
side
of
story
and
revealed
why
he
could
not
do
Happy
New
Year.
He
had
said,
"I
could
not
do
Happy
New
Year
because
I
have
my
home
productions
to
do.
I
told
SRK
about
it
and
SRK
is
always
gracious,
because
he
has
his
own
home
production
too.
He
told
me,
'John
you
should
concentrate
on
your
home
production'."
Apparently,
after
John
rejected
the
film,
Sonu
Sood
was
approached
by
the
makers
to
be
a
part
of
Happy
New
Year.
Made
on
a
budget
of
Rs
100
crore,
the
film
minted
Rs
400
crore
at
the
box
office.
Interestingly,
Shah
Rukh
and
John
are
finally
doing
a
film
together
i.e.,
YRF's
Pathan,
which
also
casts
Deepika
in
the
lead
role.
