INTERESTING: Read The Reason Why Kareena Kapoor & Parineeti Chopra Rejected Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil

We all know that Sanam Re actress Yami Gautam has been signed opposite Hrithik Roshan for his upcoming film Kaabil. But did you know that before Yami, the film was offered to Kareena Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra and both rejected it?

According To DNA, ''Yami Gautam was not the first choice for the film. It was only after A-list heroines like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Parineeti Chopra rejected the offer that the makers decided to cast in a smaller star like Yami in the film.''

The reason why Parineeti Chopra and Kareena Kapoor rejected the role is that the lead female character dies before the interval in the film.

That's why the makers of the film decided to cast Yami Gautam, who is playing a blind girl in the film, opposite Hrithik Roshan. (Well, we are disappointed as we are dying to see Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor together on-screen again.)

During the promotions of her film Sanam Re, Yami Gautam also confirmed that she is the lead heroine of Kaabil, "I am extremely excited. I think I am lucky to have this opportunity working with Hrithik. He is one of the biggest stars and finest actors that we have in the industry.''

Yami Gautam further added, ''And I am extremely looking forward to working on Kaabil and we are going start shooting next month. But each and every project that I do, actually gets me closer to the dream that I have and Sanam Re is also an important part of it.''
