"I am lucky that Baazaar chose me," says Rohan Mehra when we settle down for a chat in his suburban hotel room that overlooks the sea. "There was great struggle attached to my debut. I chased Nikkhil [Advani, producer] for this, and relentless rounds of auditions [ensued]," says the son of late actor Vinod Mehra, as he makes his entry into the industry as a stockbroker from Allahabad, who comes to Mumbai to work with Shakun Kothari (played by Saif Ali Khan).

The actor admits his casting in the offering that deals with stock market trading was a game played by destiny. "Gauravv [Chawla, director] called me to audition for a different film. But that didn't work out. He had told me simply that [Baazaar, the other film he was working on] was not for a newcomer. Still, I secretly sent him an audition [video]."
