Before Nargis Fakhri, was Dhurandhar's Saumya Tandon in talks with Imtiaz Ali for Rockstar?

Saumya Tandon returned to the big screen in director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar but before her Jab We Met debut, she was supposed in talks for another film

Actor Saumya Tandon recently returned to the big screen with Dhurandhar after 18 long years in the role of Akshaye Khanna’s wife. However, people still remember her for her big screen debut as Roop in Imtiaz Ali's 2007 film Jab We Met but the actor reveals that she actually met Imtiaz for the first time when the discussion for Rockstar was going one and they were looking to cast for the leading lady.

The actor tells us, “I had actually met Imtiaz for another film for a lead. I met him through UTV. He was making Rockstar with them at that time. So the meeting was for Rockstar and then this (Jab We Met) came up and I just thought that I was so new and had no one to guide me. I met Imtiaz for the first time where they could meet where they were casting for a Kashmiri girl.”
