Not just Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor but Ali Fazal also auditioned for Rajkummar Rao's role in The White Tiger

During the interviews for promoting Ray, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor had made the shocking revelation that he was a part of the audition for The White Tiger. In fact, he was also shortlisted but didn't make it after Priyanka Chopra stepped in since he would look too young for the role. Now, yet another actor from Ray revealed that he was also in the run for Rajkummar Rao's character in the film. We are talking about Ali Fazal.

During an interview with Film Companion where Adarsh Gourav was also present, Ali revealed, "I even auditioned with you, Adarsh, for The White Tiger. This is a revelation. No one knows this. But I was there in the room for White Tiger, as well. It was a beautiful experience. I don't remember which scene..."

Adarsh then said, "I remember the scene. It was the drunk scene where you come in and I say 'this room is like the Taj Mahal' and you say 'shut up, Balram'. And I'm not kidding bro, I've never, ever experienced... That scene we did, we did only once or twice, but I've rarely felt this connected to a co-actor. You were amazing."

Ali also added that he had received a message from Bahrani and is happy about how the film turned out to be.
