The film stars Sushant Singh Rajput of &quot;&#39;Pavitra Rishta&#39; fame, &#39;Love Sex And Dhokha&#39; actor Raj Kumar Yadav, TV actor Amit Sadh and &#39;Aisha&#39; actress Amrita Puri. Kapoor said he initially approached few big stars for his movie but was turned down by them because they didn&#39;t want to star in a three hero film. <img alt="'Kai Po Che' cast" src="http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2012/jun/Sushant-Singh_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 432px; " /> &quot;Initially I tried to get some big names on board but they all had some apprehensions because they didn&#39;t want to work in three-hero film. Especially the younger lot as they are so vulnerable - they think &#39;If I do this film then what will be my future?&#39;,&quot; Kapoor told in an interview. However, the &#39;Rock On&#39; director is glad he didn&#39;t spend much time running behind the stars and is satisfied with his choice of actors. &quot;I wouldn&#39;t change the script to suit anyone. They are three friends and they should be equal. It should not be that one is a hero and other two are flunkies. Big actors are not authorities on what is a good film or bad film. I can&#39;t decide my career trajectory based on what stars want. &quot;If you want to work with stars then you should make movies which they like... I want to make movies which I like. I can&#39;t do everything for money and short term. I would like my movie to be appreciated 50 years down the line,&quot; he said. The film is set in Gujarat and follows the story of three boys - Ishaan, Omi and Govind. Kapoor said that although the movie is based on Bhagat&#39;s novel he has changed about 50-60 per cent of the story line. &quot;It is based on Chetan&#39;s book but to change a book to screenplay is a huge process. The adaptation takes a while and a lot of changes are made.&quot; &quot;I would say about 50-60 per cent is changed but the characters and the heart of the film is still the book. Cinematically I felt it is a good opportunity for me to tell an already told story and add value to it,&quot; he said. Kapoor also said unlike many other directors who are running behind the 100 crore club he has no interest in it and thinks the whole thing is a big joke. &quot;The 100 crore club is just a joke... 100 crores is just a standard now. Its not that the films are great, they have just opened well. The weekend collection is not the only thing. I work hard on my stories and films so I would want them to be seen by people across and not just crash after the weekend. So actually bad films are doing 100 crore,&quot; he said. The filmmaker, who is returning to the director&#39;s chair after a gap of three years, said he was in no rush to make another movie after the success of &quot;Rock On&quot;. &quot;I actually took a very long holiday after &#39;Rock On&#39; and I was in no rush to make another film. I don&#39;t feel that insecurity may be because I have seen so much failure that I am not worried what will happen to me if I don&#39;t make one film every year. This is the privilege of being self employed.&quot; Kapoor, who started his career with acting in &quot;Uff! Yeh Mohabbat&quot; in 1996, has his focus on direction now but hasn&#39;t ruled out acting in a film. &quot;I do get offers but nothing has really struck. I wouldn&#39;t say I don&#39;t want to act but nothing exciting is coming my way. I am not pursuing it either because I am completely into my scripts. Working with these actors is also making me learn so I think I am still in learning process as an actor, maybe when I am ready I will take an opportunity,&quot; he said.u00a0
