Imran Khan was the first choice for `Cocktail` not Saif
Director Homi Adajania says Imran Khan was his first choice for romantic comedy "Cocktail", which has Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and model Diana Penty.

"Saif was not the primary choice. Imran was imagined to do it but he was undecided if he desired to do it at that time of a time," Adajania told.

Being produced by Saif's Illuminati Films, the film will pop out July 13.

"As Saif is the producer, he was dealing with the scripts, he read it and loved it. So, it worked out pretty much and that's how he came on board," he said.

Adajania debuted as a director with dark film "Being Cyrus" and it had Saif within the lead role. Dimple Kapadia and Boman Irani too featured in it.

For "Cocktail" too the director has roped in Dimple-Boman to play prominent roles.

Explaining their presence within the cast, he said: "Dimple and Boman also are there within the film and it's not like they were in 'Being Cyrus' so are a part of this film besides. It isn't an issue of familiarity but using talented actors who fit the bill."
