- Happy New Year's unknown facts
Farah Khan has managed to bring together a huge star cast of varied actors like, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Sonu Sood. While planning the film, Farah Khan was only sure of Shah Rukh Khan for the lead role and a lot of names were being considered for the rest of the cast. There were reports of TV actress Ankita Lokhande making her film debut with Happy New Year. Apart from that, John Abraham was also supposed to play a parallel lead in the movie. Speaking about the same to Bollywoodhungama, John said, "I could not do Happy New Year because I have my home productions to do. I told SRK about it and SRK is always gracious, because he has his own home production too. He told me, 'John you should concentrate on your home production.' I am very fond of him and it was very amicable."
