Sharib Hashmi is not shy about talking about roles that didn’t work out. In a recent interview, the actor candidly admitted that missing out on parts of Sanju and Bajrangi Bhaijaan remains a lingering regret.Sharib revealed that he was in hot competition for the role of Kamli in Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, before it eventually went to Vicky Kaushal.
Vicky Kaushal to give up alcohol and non-vegetarian food for Mahavatar?
He told Filmygyan, “Mujhe Sanju ka ek bada afsos hai, jo role kiya tha Kamli ka, uske liye mein kaafi shortlist hua tha, kaafi time tak chal raha tha. To vo ek afsos hai.” (One of the things I regret the most is Sanju. For the role of Kamli, I was shortlisted, and the process took some time.
So this remains a regret.)The actor also spoke about the experience of playing the role played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, directed by Kabir Khan and starring Salman Khan.He added, “Fir Bajrangi Bhaijaan me jo Nawazuddin Siddiqui ne kiya tha, uske liye bhi mene Audition dya tha aur shortlisted hua tha, kuch audition rounds hew mere, but vo naseeb ki baat hai.” (Then, for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the role played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, I auditioned for that as well and was shortlisted.
I’ve gone through a few rounds of testing, but this is a matter of fate.)
“It’s a matter of fate”
While both films were huge commercial successes – with Sanju starring Ranbir Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt – Charib chose to look at the experience with perspective.Dubbing it Naseeb Ki Baat, the actor admitted that although he came close, some of the roles were simply not meant to be.
