Wrote 'Jolly LLB' keeping Arshad in mind, not SRK: director

Subhash Kapoor had approached superstar Shah Rukh Khan to play the lead character in his upcoming film 'Jolly LLB', but the director says he initially wrote the story keeping actor Arshad Warsi in mind. Warsi stepped in to star in the judicial satire after Khan could not manage his schedule for the film, which also stars Boman Irani and Amrita Rao. "I had got the opportunity to meet Shah Rukh Khan long time back when I was scripting the film. I showed him the script and he really liked it. He was keen to star in the film because he never portrayed a lawyer onscreeen. "Shah Rukh made it clear in the very beginning that he might not star in the films because he had other commitments. But, I never wrote the script for him. Arshad has always been my first choice," Subhash told
