Parmeet Sethi Reveals Son Ayushmaan Was Shortlisted for Kuljeet in DDLJ Musical

He said producers favored a performer with longer Western classical training.

Overview

  • The role in question was for Come Fall in Love, Aditya Chopra’s stage adaptation of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge presented for the West End/Broadway circuit.
  • Sethi shared the disclosure during a YouTube Live marking one million subscribers for the family channel AAAP Ka Parivaar.
  • Ayushmaan explained he missed out because the makers sought deeper Western classical singing experience than he currently has.
  • A graduate of the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York, Ayushmaan was joined on the stream by his parents, with Archana Puran Singh offering a lighthearted take on the actor’s journey.
  • Parmeet noted he himself was initially rejected for the original film’s Kuljeet before winning the part after a screen test, and outlets reported no further updates on the musical’s casting.
