Saturday, 9th April 2016, 3:15 PM IST Fawad Khan’s character in ‘Kapoor & Sons’ is gay. And producer Karan Johar recently revealed that six actors had rejected Fawad’s role in the film. Karan said, "‘Kapoor & Sons' was a tough film to cast. There was a point when we almost didn't make it. We kept it on the backburner for over a year. No one was willing to do Fawad Khan's role. We went to six actors and after six rejections, I told Shakun that we should drop the idea and he started developing another screenplay. Later, in a flash of thought Fawad came to my mind. I sent him the script, he loved it and said he would do it. Subsequently, I went to Sidharth Malhotra. I was surprised Alia Bhatt agreed to do the role. The script is not positioned around her, yet, she has a strong part. For us she is an in-house talent at Dharma. I am glad she had the foresight and I hope more actors look out for good films rather than ask, 'What is my part'."
