In a chat with comedian Rohan Joshi, Vir Das revealed that Imran was never a part of the film initially, he stated, “Delhi Belly, they started auditioning me for Imran’s role but then Imran wasn't in their mind. They were trying different permutations and combinations. One of the auditions was me, Gaurav Kapur and Cyrus Broacha. So, me in Imran's role, Gaurav in my role and Cyrus in Kunal's role. It was like three mosquitoes on crack.” Speaking about Imran, Vir Das added, “And then, Imran became Imran, because Jaane Tu had come out. And then we did like one audition with me, Imran and (Kunal) Roy Kapur. I was like, 'I don't f****** get this I know these two guys are getting it'. They are that perfect. And then it was the three of us. But that was the ninth audition, and by the way, Imran’s sixth audition. Imran, being Aamir’s nephew, auditioned six times.” Vir Das also revealed in the same chat that he had auditioned for R Madhavan’s role in ‘3 Idiots’ and for Purab’s role in ‘Rock On!’. Directed by Abhinay Deo, ‘Delhi Belly’ was a huge hit with fans. The film also starred Poorna Jagannathan and Shenaz Treasurywala.
