"The actor had auditioned for the role last year and was one of the frontrunners. Unfortunately, he couldn't take it forward because he had allotted his August dates to the shoot of Mirzapur 2 in Varanasi. The makers of Upload would have required bulk dates from him. So, he had to forgo the opportunity," reveals a source.
