Aamir Bashir [the young cop in A Wednesday] was supposed to play Shah Rukh's younger brother but unfortunately, he was denied a visa to the United States. Jimmy Shergill then replaced him.

Likewise, Shabana Azmi was supposed to play Shah Rukh's mother in the film. But when the shooting schedule got delayed because of Shah Rukh's shoulder surgery, Azmi opted out. Zarina Wahab has replaced her.
