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.
