It starred Kangana Ranaut in the lead role, with Lisa Haydon and Rajkummar Rao playing supporting roles. It received universal critical acclaim and was praised for its direction, screenplay, and Kangana's titular performance. It is one of the highest-grossing Indian films featuring a female protagonist. The film won several awards.
Meanwhile, Bollywood’s Bebo aka Kareena Kapoor Khan has won hearts from her fans all around the world.
Each time the Jab We Met actress gets a role, her magic on screens amplifies. There are many movies in which her fans would have loved her in place of the original actress. However, did you know that Khan once gave up the 2013’s massive blockbuster Queen?
Kareena was the first one who was offered Kangana's role in the 2013 release Queen. Not only this, the actress was reportedly also offered lead roles in Kal Ho Naa Ho, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai,
Goliyon Ki Rasleela – Ram Leela, and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. However, she rejected them.
In an interview in the past, when asked about all these films and the reason for rejecting the roles in them, Kareena immediately rubbished the reports and confessed, “There are only two films on this list that are right, the rest are all wrong. Queen I was offered.”
During the same interview, when asked if she regrets not accepting the time in Queen as it was a huge success at the box office, Kareena Kapoor Khan said, “I never look back, I only move ahead. I have no regrets.”
Kareena will be next seen in Laal Singh Chaddha. The film also stars Aamir Khan and is slated to release in August this year. To note, the release date of the film has been postponed a few times.
