Imran Khan, who had essayed the role of a tough yet romantic Dongri goon in Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!, recently revealed that he was approached for a role in the prequel too.

In an interview, Khan claimed that when the prequel Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai was being planned, he was offered the role of Shoaib, which eventually went to Emraan Hashmi. When asked about his reasons for not doing the film, the Delhi Belly dude said that at the time, he was shooting for Luck and as he already had committed to Kidnap post that, he did not want to do another serious role, which is why things did not work out.

Milan Luthria's Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai had also starred Ajay Devgn, Prachi Desai and Kangna Ranaut in lead roles.
