“Chitrangada
Singh
was
my
original
choice," says
Arsala
Qureishi,
the
director
of
The
Unforgettable.
Yes,
the
talented
actor
was
approached
by
the
duo-directors
Arsala
and
Sabrina
for
the
role
that
eventually
went
to
another
talent
Sofia
Hayat.
“We
had
reached
out
to
Chitrangada,
but
she
by
that
time
had
withdrawn
into
matrimony
and
parenthood,
and
thus
wasn"t
keen
on
cinema.
Dejected
by
this
we
moved
to
foreign
shores
and
opted
for
the
stunning
Sofia
Hayat.
Sofia,
who
just
had
her
autobiography
released
by
'Amazon",
was
more
than
happy
to
slide
into
the
role," exclaim
Arsala
and
Sabrina.
As
reliable
sources
reveal,
“Interestingly,
as
things
turned
out,
Arsala
had
to
make
some
changes
to
suit
Sofia"s
persona
and
had
to
also
make
it
explicit
sexually
to
lend
strength
to
the
characters.
But
if
she
had
cast
Chitrangada,
Arsala"s
script
and
story
would
not
have
the
hot
scenes,
which
are
integral
to
the
storyline
today."
The
Unforgettable
is
an
English
film
slated
to
release
in
India
on
September
11.
