The recently released trailer of Alejandro G. Inarritu's upcoming film Digger has generated significant buzz, with Tom Cruise impressing fans in an almost unrecognisable avatar. While Cruise dominates the trailer, British actor Riz Ahmed has also caught attention with his pivotal role. Interestingly, it has now come to light that Indian actors Vir Das and Fahadh Faasil were also in the running for the part before Ahmed was cast.

Vir Das reveals he had auditioned twice

Shortly after the trailer dropped, actor-comedian Vir Das revealed that he had auditioned for the film. Although he later deleted his post on X (formerly Twitter), screenshots quickly went viral across social media platforms, including Reddit.
