    Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani was one of the most loved comedy films of the year when it came out in 2009.

    In fact, at that time, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani was Ranbir’s biggest hit and his first stint in comedy which was loved by all. But did you know that Ranbir was not the first choice for the film. Rajkumar Santoshi, who directed the film, first approached Shahid Kapoor to play the role. However, he refused the offer as he thought the role would be too similar to his character in Jab We Met which had released in 2007.

    The film had a lot of interesting easter eggs in it also. This was Santoshi’s next comedy after directing Andaz Apna Apna 14 years back and interestingly the release date of the both the films are only two days apart. It is also the only film so far where Katrina Kaif has shared a frame with Ranbir Kapoor and Salman Khan who did a small cameo in the film and Ranbir’s character was also named Prem, which is of course, Salman’s most iconic screen name.
