first choice
Did you guys know the Rajshri movie Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) that launched Salman Khan to stardom, was actually offered to someone else.
Yes, the flick that made Salman an overnight sensation was offered to Bigg Boss9 contestant Vikas Bhalla
Director Sooraj Barjatiya had finalized Vikas Bhalla opposite Bhagyashree, however the actor walked out of the movie as he had some issues with the productions. After which, Dabangg Khan was roped in to play the role.
One of the best movies of Sanjay Dutt, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. which is based on Gandhiji’s moral and values was first offered to someone else.
Yes, the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan was the original choice to play the character of Munna Bhai. But due to back problems (heath), Shah Rukh turned down the role which later went to Sanjay Dutt.
We must say destiny definitely had a hand in this. What say guys?
Director Anurag Basu’s Barfi starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz earned lot of appreciation from the masses and critics alike.
However, very few people know that Katrina Kaif was the initial choice to play Ileana’s role. Anurag wanted Kat for the film as Ranbir and Kat have a great onscreen chemistry. But as we say, someone’s loss is someone’s gain, and in this case, it was Ileana who finally bagged the coveted role.
Exotic babe of B-town Priyanka Chopra, is leaving no stones unturned to deliver a punchy performance playing Mary Kom in her upcoming movie with the same name.
Mary Kom, as we all know, is a celebrated boxer who won Bronze medal at the London Olympics 2012. The movie is being produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
