Did you know Alia Bhatt was the first choice for Neerja?

Sonam Kapoor starrer Neerja, a biopic based on Neerja Bhanot is still fresh in our minds. The critics have appreciated Sonam’s phenomenal acting.

But the co-producers of Neerja had another actress in mind while in the pre-production stage.

Apparently, they were about to cast Alia Bhatt until producer Atul Kasbekar decided to go with Sonam. Buzz suggests that Alia was not being tall enough to portray a flight attendant was the reason behind her rejection.

The leggy Sonam Kapoor is five inches taller than Alia, an appropriate height for a cabin crew. The makers took Atul’s advice into consideration and cast Sonam.
