Jatin
Sarna
known
for
Sacred
Games,
83
recently
in
a
chat
with
a
leading
tabloid
revealed
that
he
was
rejected
for
Akshay
Kumar's
Airlift.
He
was
offered
the
role
of
Ibrahim
Durrani
which
was
later
played
by
Purab
Kohli.
The
actor
said
that
while
he
was
heartbroken
when
he
lost
the
film,
his
disappointment
turned
into
relief
after
watching
the
film
as
he
felt
the
role
wasn't
exciting.
Speaking
about
it,
the
actor
told
Hindustan
Times,
"I
was
heartbroken
when
I
lost
Airlift.
I'm
a
huge
Akshay
Kumar
fan.
When
I
was
cast
for
the
role,
I
was
very
excited
and
my
family
was
like
this
is
it!
But
one
day
I
realised
that
baat
bigad
gayi
hai.
I
kept
calling
them,
but
there
was
no
response.
I
went
to
meet
the
director
Raja
Menon,
and
I
found
out
that
they
have
already
started
shooting.
They
dropped
me
and
went
with
a
known
face."
Jatin
said
that
after
watching
the
film,
he
was
relieved
and
added,
"I
felt
better
that
it
didn't
happen,
it
was
not
an
exciting
role
anyway."
The
actor
said
that
the
life
came
a
full
circle
for
him
when
he
turned
down
Akshay
Kumar's
Bachchan
Pandey.
Explaining
the
reason
behind
the
same,
he
told
the
tabloid,
"I
was
offered
Bachchan
Pandey,
but
I
didn't
like
the
character
and
it
didn't
excite
me.
I
left
it."
Further,
Jatin
revealed
that
he
recently
rejected
12
movies
which
included
Salman
Khan's
Tiger
3.
"I
have
rejected
12
films.
I
was
offered
Tiger
3,
Ahmed
Khan's
directorial
with
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor.
I
don't
like
dost,
chacha,
bhateja
roles
anymore.
Now
just
sharing
screen
space
with
big
actors
is
not
important
for
me.
I
want
to
work
with
all
the
stars,
but
it
has
to
be
something
substantial,"
he
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
leading
daily.
