Salman Khan has played Prem in Rajshri’s three major films and perfected the role to play their family oriented romantic guy. After that it was Shahid Kapoor who played the same character in Vivah. Well this time in their forthcoming film, Sonu Sood plays this most loved character Prem. Apparently Sonu was not their first choice to play Prem. It is learnt that Bobby Deol was offered to play Prem before Sonu Sood.

According to an industry insider Bobby Deol and Vidya Balan were the original choice to play Prem and Chandani for Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi . The duo had gone through the narration too. Apparently Vidya Balan who was not eager to do the same role which was quite similar to her earlier screen image, went through the narration because of her co star Bobby Deol. Unfortunately, Bobby wasn’t so comfortable doing family drama and turned down the offer. After trying some other actors, the makers zeroed in on Sonu Sood.

Apparently Vidya Balan who was keen to change her screen image decided to opt out as she was not at all keen to pair opposite Sonu Sood. Interestingly Eesha who was also in their wish list managed to get Chandani’s role and that’s how Sonu and Eesha Koppikhar became Rajshri’s new pair Prem and Chandani.

Interestingly Rajshri films always had big stars in all their films. It seems this time though they don’t have the star power, they are confident about the story. Let’s hope Sonu and Eesha’s magic will make it at box office.
