Celebrity News - Rang De Vivek Oberoi!

Hrithik Roshan was the first choice for Rang De Basanti and all possible pressure was brought upon him to persuade him to accept the film.

But Hrithik actually did turn down the venture directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra .

Hrithik was being offered the role of Karan (Anupam Kher 's son in the film) , eventually played by Siddharth .

Of course, Hrithik's firmness worked wonders for Siddharth, who got the rare opportunity to showcase his acting prowess in his very first Hindi film.

Also, its also rumoured (from highly authentic sources) that Vivek Oberoi was also considered for this role, but for his busy schedule with Omkara he couldn’t make the final cut!
