Ronit Roy reveals he missed out on ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ due to Karan Johar’s ‘Student of the Year’

Actor Ronit Roy revealed that he had to reject an offer to work in the Hollywood film ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ as Karan Johar's team refused to shift dates for ‘Student of the Year’.

He recently appeared on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ along with team ‘Shehzada’ where Kapil first revealed that Ronit was offered a role in ‘Zero Dark Thirty’, but he refused so as to complete ‘Student of the Year’.

To this Ronit replied, ‘Yes, I was selected for the film Zero Dark Thirty, without any auditions. They told me the director Kathryn Bigelow had seen my work and wanted to cast me. I was shocked that an Oscar-winning director has selected me for her film.’

He further added, ‘But then, their films are scheduled and Karan Johar had all my dates. I asked them to shift dates, as this was a lifetime opportunity for me – to work with an Oscar-winning director in a Hollywood film. But they refused, not Karan, but they (people working with him) refused to release me, denied to cancel my dates for Student of the Year. So I had to do refuse. And, then when I called up Karan a week ahead of the Student of the Year shooting, asking when the shoot begins, he told me they are not shooting on schedule. So, that was the biggest bummer. I could not take up that offer and even they (Karan's film) did not happen on time.’

Kriti Sanon reacted to this and said, ‘This is the problem with being ethical.’ Kartik Aaryan jokingly said, ‘That is why I am not ethical.’

Ronit Roy had earlier revealed that he regrets ‘not being able to do Homeland and Zero Dark Thirty’.
