It was Shekhar Kapur and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s
daughter – Kaveri. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, the latter revealed that
he daughter was approached for Insiya’s role.
“I’m very keen to see Kaveri in a movie. She
was offered Aamir Khan’s Secret Superstar (a role which eventually went to
Zaira Wasim) but she declined the offer. I begged her to do just this
one film, but she wanted to focus on being a singer-songwriter at the
time.”
The actress also spoke about her comeback to the big
screen after 8 years. Suchitra was last seen in 2010 film Mittal V/s Mittal
alongside Gulshan Grover and Rituparna Sengupta and will next be seen in RAW:

Talking about how she grabbed the role, she told the
tabloid, “I got a call from the casting director a month ago but I was leaving
for a Himalayan trek. But soon afterwards, I injured my back and was advised
not to continue the trek. Two days later, they called again and I gave my nod.
This is the first time I am working in such a big film in a commercial setup,”
she said.
Coming back to Kaveri, let’s see when do we see her
