Hirani's original cast had SRK & Abhishek

It is old news that Rajkumar 'Munnabhai' Hirani is all set to direct Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham in his next film, based on Chetan Bhagat's book on the IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) culture , 'Five Point Something'.

However, not many will know that Hirani's original cast was Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan (once again after 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'), but in walked John Abraham, replacing Abhishek Bachchan.

Apparently, Hirani was 'maha' impressed with the SRK-John Chemistry in the recent 'Pepsi My Can' campaign and that is what seems to have tilted the balance in John's favour.
