Last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's smash hit Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 1999, Ajay and Salman never got cast together till London Dreams, in which they play music aficionados in a London-based rock band.
Clarifies Vipul, "I never cast them because I wanted to repeat the Hum Dil... magic. In fact it didn't even occur to me that the two hadn't been together in a film since.
I wanted Ajay for his intensity and Salman for his madness and after I cast them someone pointed out the casting coup of sorts!
In fact, not many know that Salman and Ajay are great friends in real life and have immense respect for each other. They aren't very overt about it but they share amazing vibes and that will be visible on screen in London Dreams."
Ajay bagged Aishwarya Rai in Hum Dil..., let's see who gets lucky with Asin in London Dreams!
