Did you know?

I decided today, I'm going to start a new little series of posts called 'Did you know?' I'll try to post about once every other week or so. But of course, you all know me by now, and it might only become a once a month ordeal haha.

Anyways, the posts will be about random Bollywood facts that not everyone knows. And my little take on each one. "what say ppl!?' -- as Piggy Chops (Priyanka Chopra) would say.



Did you know that originally movie director Aditya Chopra was to cast Hollywood film star Tom Cruise as Raj Malhotra in his legendary blockbuster film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, that is correct! He originally wanted the affair to be that of an Indo-American romance. But Mr Yash Chopra wasnt having it. He wasnt too keen on the idea of having a foreign actor in the movie. So Aditya had to re-edit his story so that it would fit the character Mr Yash had imagined.



Arent you glad that Yash Raj jumped in and saved the day? Or should I say saved Bollywood itself. I could never imagine Tom Cruise playing the role of Raj. I mean come on, how in the heck would he be able to go the distance in finding Kajol, in some random pindh in the middle of Punjab, without knowing anyone or anything about India?



I love the movie the way it is. I wouldnt change a thing. I think Raj's character is perfect and I'm sure many would agree.



What do you think?

Tom Cruise or King Khan!?
