Kareena said Shahid, Alia had bigger roles in Udta Punjab

Director Abhishek Chaubey revealed that Shahid Kapoor was the first actor to join 'Udta Punjab,' eager to break his 'boy-next-door' image. Shahid suggested Alia Bhatt for a role, though Chaubey was initially hesitant due to her previous work. Eventually, Alia's passion convinced him. Kareena Kapoor Khan also joined, despite having less screen time compared to Shahid and Alia.
