ACtor Muzammil Ibrahim formerly revealed that the role of Avi in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, which was eventually played by Aditya Roy Kapur, was originally written for him. He has at present shared that he later cleared the beam with his quaker Ayan Mukerji, adding that it was the cast agents who stepped in and took the final decision out of Ayan’s hands.Muzammil on missing out on Yeh Jawaani Hai DeewaniDuring an interview with Hindi Rush, Muzammil was asked what happened with his casting in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.He responded, “I think it got stuck at casting. I spoke to Ayan about it later, and we clarified it as well. It was a misunderstanding. I was expecting that Ayan would send me the script, but he didn’t. And perhaps, it was my fault that I didn’t ask for it, that Ayan, you told me you would give me the script.”Muzammil revealed that he had worked with Ayan during the scripting of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, but once discussions about casting started, the communication was handed over to the casting team.Muzammil added, “That communication was being done via the casting people, even though Ayan and I were very good friends at the time. We had been discussing the process, but when the conversation shifted towards casting, I don’t know how they conducted the communication. Even the casting guys play a lot of games.”Previously, in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Muzammil shared that the role of Avi, eventually played by Aditya Roy Kapur, was written for him.About Yeh Jawaani Hai DeewaniAyan Mukerji's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was led by Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
