Kiara Advani was not the first choice of Karan Johar for Lust Stories! Film got rejected for being too bold

Mumbai (Maharashtra): Kiara Advani is currently experiencing the peak of her career where she is working with the biggest filmmakers in town and has back-to-back hits in her kitty. To top all of that, she is now a Koffee With Karan debutante as she recently made her appearance on the talk show with her Kabir Singh co-star, Shahid Kapoor. The actor charmed her way throughout the hour with her witty answers and honest confessions. The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 star and Karan Johar also opened up about their first film together, Lust Stories, which boosted Kiara into a talented star.

The filmmaker said, “It was bizarre how it all happened. I really had to direct this film in the anthology. There was Zoya, Dibakar Bannerjee, and Anurag Kashyap all making their movies. I was the last one. I was doing many things and hadn’t been able to shoot it. Suddenly they were like, Karan you have to shoot it and the film has to be made. I was like, what do I do? Suddenly the story came about and I wrote it. But I thought the story is going to be tough to cast because this girl pretty much has an open orgasm.”

He added, “So, I offered it to Kriti Sanon but she said that her mom didn’t allow her. So, I was like, okay, everybody’s Moms will then stand in between. It is actually a very empowering story about a woman’s right to pleasure. So, I met Kiara at Manish Malhotra’s house. I knew her then as Alia Advani. Alias are in my destiny, my fate. I met her and said, ‘can you come tomorrow and meet me for a short film?’ She came and heard it and she was a little zoned out. She asked me, are you directing it? I said yes. She then replied, ‘Then I am doing it’. It didn’t matter further to her.”

The actress revealed how she always dreamed of doing a Dharma film and that although she did Lust Stories because of Karan Johar, she felt the story was very powerful to miss out.

Workwise, the actor has a lot of films coming out including Govinda Naam Mera with Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar. She also has RC15 with Ram Charan and Satyaprem ki Katha with Kartik Aaryan.
