‘Thankfully, I didn't do it’: Farhan Saeed reveals he almost signed Bollywood film with Urvashi Rautela

A snippet from Farhan Saeed’s old interview is circulating on social media in which the acclaimed singer and actor revealed that he was once offered a Bollywood role alongside Indian actor Urvashi Rautela, but he eventually opted not to take the project.

In an interview with ‘Something Haute’, the ‘Sajni’ vocalist recounted his experiences of performing in India and the popularity of his celebrated pop music band 'Jal,' which led to acting offers in Bollywood movies.

“When we used to perform as ‘Jal’ in India, I used to get a lot of acting offers. You know, in India, whoever rises to prominence invites acting offers,” Saeed said.

“We used to laugh at it and refuse those offers.” 

Farhan narrated an anecdote about a time when he was almost cast in a Bollywood movie. “I was locked in a movie with Mithun Chakroborthy's son. We met and they finalised me for a musician's role,” the ‘Suno Chanda’ actor disclosed. 

Looking back at the opportunity, he appreciated the decision to decline the offer, stating, "Thankfully, I didn't do it.” 

The multitalented artist further revealed that the film, initially set to mark the Bollywood debuts of both himself and actress Urvashi Rautela, encountered an unexpected turn of events.

“Urvashi Rautela and I were supposed to debut with the movie. Both of us backed out together from the project after having a conversation on a call,” Saeed added. 

“We were like we don’t think we should take on this project,” he shared his conversation with the ‘Pagalpanti' actor.
