Dunno about Ishaqzaade... But when they were casting for Ishaqzaade, he was already a YRF boy. He was supposed to do a low budget YRF movie named Virus Deewan. That movie was shelved because the director's previous movie Luv ka The End tanked.
For these low budget YRF films Shanoo has the power to cast the leads.. Just like she cast Bhoomi in DLKH
Now how Shanoo picked Arjun.. There are two stories. 1) Same as Ranveer's: Met at a party, 2) Shanoo saw Arjun's FB profile and was impressed with him (😆)

They could have cast other Y-Film boys.. Taha Shah or Saqeeb. But I guess they wanted a boy who's salable: Someone's son/nephew/brother.
I think, Anu's was a real audition. Remember the host saying this in an MTV show. No idea if Shanoo was their casting director those days.

Anil's nephew.
True Story: I always use a doesn't-look-like-his/her-dad/mom/mamu type comment while watching songs/movies of an industry kid if my mom/sister is with me. When I do that, they can recognize the actor the next time they see him/her. Or else it takes a year or two for my mom/sister to know their name.
