"The audition happened before 'Raazi' released and became hit, after which he preferred to opt-out of the project as he didn't want to play the second lead in the film. Although Kabir Khan was keen that Vicky play Mohinder Amarnath's role," informs a source.

Saqib Salem was later cast for the role and he played Mohinder Amarnath in '83' that released in theatres on December 24. (Also Read:Aww! Newly Weds Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal move into their new homes! CHECK OUT THE PICTURES)
