When Ronit Roy requested Karan Johar’s crew to regulate his dates, his request was denied. Ronit Roy opened up concerning the incident when he appeared on Kapil Sharma’s present to promote ‘Shehzaada’ with Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon, and Rajpal Yadav. Ronit Roy mentioned, “Yes, I was selected for the film Zero Dark Thirty, without any auditions. They told me the director Kathryn Bigelow had seen my work and wanted to cast me. I was shocked that an Oscar-winning director had selected me for her film.”
He additional added, “But then, their films are scheduled and Karan Johar had all my dates. I asked them to shift dates, as this was a lifetime opportunity for me – to work with an Oscar-winning director in a Hollywood film. But they refused, not Karan, but they (the people working with him) refused to release me and refused to cancel my dates for Student of the Year. So I had to refuse. And, then when I called up Karan a week ahead of the Student of the Year shooting, asking when the shoot begins, he told me they were not shooting on schedule. So, that was the biggest bummer. I could not take up that offer and even they (Karan’s film) did not happen on time.”
Hearing Ronit Roy’s story, Kriti Sanon quipped that that is the issue with being “ethical” within the business and Kartik Aaryan jokingly admitted, “Issi liye main unethical rehta hoon (This is why I am unethical).”
In 2013, Ronit Roy, in a PTI interview, revealed that he regrets not taking over the Hollywood film supply. He was quoted as saying, “I was offered a very interesting role in Zero Dark Thirty. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it due to problems with the date. I did see the film, and I do regret not being part of it. I was shooting for Karan Johar’s Student of the Year, and I was looking to work with him and couldn’t let go of this opportunity. We were shooting in Thailand for the film, and there was no way I could manage my dates for Zero Dark Thirty.”
