Shraddha Kapoor Almost Cast in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video
Yes, you heard it right. Shraddha Kapoor was initially one of the top choices for the lead role in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, known for his hit Dream Girl. The role eventually went to Triptii Dimri, but Shraddha was considered during the early casting discussions.
In an interview with Mid-day, director Raaj Shaandilyaa explained the casting process, saying, “We thought about casting Nushrratt Bharuccha, Janhvi Kapoor, and Bhumi Pednekar, but Rajkummar Rao had already worked with them. We also considered Shraddha, but since she was already working with Rajkummar in Stree 2, we decided to try someone new. That’s when we chose Triptii.”
Why Triptii Dimri Got the Role
Since Shraddha was busy promoting and working on Stree 2, the team decided to go with Triptii Dimri, a rising star known for her impressive acting.

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see how Triptii and Rajkummar Rao’s chemistry will unfold in this romantic comedy.
