Raj Nidimoru, co-creator of 'The Family Man', has revealed that Uday Mahesh wasn't the first choice for the role of Chellam sir. "We actually cast another actor...and it just wasn't working out," he added. "Poor guy [wasn't] in good health...He didn't know what was going on...I think he hadn't been acting for a...long time, so it...didn't work out," Raj said.
