A story doing the rounds claims Manoj Bajpayee and Irrfan Khan were both being considered for the role of Paresh RawalтАЩs henchman in Ram Gopal VarmaтАЩs 1997 dud Daud. Manoj finally got the role.

Irrfan Khan was never considered for Daud, Ram Gopal Varma sets the record straight

According to Manoj, Ramu agreed to meet Manoj for a minor role in Daud. But when he reached for the meeting, Irrfan and actor Vineet Kumar were already there for the same role. Manoj claims he managed to wrangle the role away from his two competitors.

However Ramu has a different take on what really happened. тАЬNo, Irrfan was never considered for Daud. I didnтАЩt even know him when Daud was being made. I had seen Manoj in Shekhar KapoorтАЩs Bandit Queen and offered him the role in Daud.тАЭ

When did Ramu come to know Irrfan? тАЬWe were introduced long after Daud. We never worked together. I donтАЩt know why! ItтАЩs just one of those things that never happened. I regret it now. We would have created a special magic together. I think he was an actor who could anything.тАЭ

Hansal Mehta who shares his birthday with IrrfanтАЩs death anniversary also regrets not having worked with Irrfan. тАЬI will always share this date with him for the rest of life. Every year on my birthday I will be reminded of his rude sudden and unforgivable going. We did not ever work together but shared a very warm camaraderie over the years. Shared many drunken nights with him talking about life and a lot of other shit.тАЭ
