Debutant Aayush Sharma, who is being launched by Salman Khan in Loveratri was apparently Sohail Khan’s first choice for My Punjabi Nikah, a film loosely based on his own life and marriage.

In a recent media interaction, Salman revealed, “Sohail and I were supposed to do this film called My Punjabi Nikah. But by the time we got the script ready, the role didn’t suit me anymore. At that time, Sohail was working out at a gym, and he saw this guy there, who he thought would make an ideal hero for his film. He came back and told me, ‘He is a fit guy, very hard working, and very respectful.’ We got an opportunity to meet him again after six months when Arpita told us that she wanted to marry him. That’s the backstory.”
