Aditya posted on X: “I was the original choice for Tezaab... director N. Chandra can confirm this.”

The 60-year-old added: “Unfortunately, another actor, through his elder brother (who continues to be active in the industry), influenced the director to cast him instead. The rest, as they say, is history (sic),” he wrote.
