We have been hearing that the filmmakers choose the stars because they fit to the characters. But this proves to be wrong. They star the actors (many a time) upon the market
value. This happened on the project of the filmmaker Sudhir Mishra, who is making his Devdas. He hired Shiney Ahuja as Devdas along with Lara Dutta and Chitrangda Singh. But later found that Shiney is not the actor, the film can sell in the market. So finally throw him out of the cast and instead took Farhan Akhtar as Devdas.

Why, because Farhan Akhtar has been rocking after ‘Rock On!’ and ‘Luck By Chance’. Besides, Farhan also takes producer’s seat for this project. Lara has also been replaced to Kareena Kapoor because Kareena has wide market value. Chitrangda Singh will remain on the list.
