MUMBAI: Bollywood heartthrob Vicky Kaushal, now part of the industry's A-list, once had his share of auditions and rejections. Surprisingly, one of the auditions was for the blockbuster film 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan,' headlined by Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Anushka Sharma. In an interview with India Today, it was revealed that Vicky auditioned for the role of Zain, SRK's friend in the film. However, the casting team decided he wasn't the right fit for the part, leading to Sharib Hashmi eventually taking on the role.

Sharib Hashmi, who stepped into the character of Zain, recently collaborated with Vicky Kaushal in Laxam Utekar's family drama 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke,' which went on to become a commercial success, earning Rs 116 crore worldwide. The chemistry between Sara Ali Khan and Vicky was well-received by the audience.
