Kareena was not the first choice for 'Laal Singh Chaddha'

Kareena Kapoor is all set to grace the screen with Aamir Khan for the second time in her career after '3 Idiots'.

In 'Laal Singh Chaddha', Kapoor is playing the love interest of Aamir's character, but, did you know Kareena was not the first choice for the film? Actually, the makers were searching for a young actress for the role, but in the end, they found Kareena, perfect as Rupa. 

"Kareena wasn't your first choice, was she?" Karan asked. Reacting to which,  Aamir said via India today, "No because we were actually thinking about age group. Both the characters have a journey from 18 to 50 years of life. Initially we thought the lesser the de-aging the better. So only I should de-age. We were looking at the age group of 25 (years). So that the actress can look younger and older."
