Armaan Kohli was the first choice for Deewana, a role which later went to Shah Rukh Khan.
Attending Ritesh-Sajid’s chat show Yaaron Ki Baarat alongside Anushka Sharma, the 51-year-old actor revealed that Armaan Kohli, who was the first choice for his 1992 debut release Deewana, quit after shooting the first schedule.
The Dilwale actor, known for his tongue-in-cheek remarks, said “Armaan Kohli is responsible for me being a star. He featured on the Deewana poster with late Divya Bharti. I still have that poster. Thank you for making me a star.”
Well, we all know how this movie cemented his position in the film industry and propelled Shah Rukh to overnight stardom!
