But did you know that Kriti Sanon was not the first choice for the role of Janaki. It was earlier reported that Anushka Shamra who had just delivered her baby Vamika would be making her comeback with Adipurush and even had a meeting with Om Raut however things didn’t materialize.

Anushka Shetty was also rumored to be offered Adipurush and this would mean the OG cast of Baahubali would be part of the film however things again never went ahead with her.

South actress Keerthy Suresh was offered the role of Janaki and was on the verge of signing the film however at the very last minute she turned down the offer to sign a Rajnikanth’s film.

Anushka Sharma is all set to be seen in the Jhulan Goswami biopic Chakda Xpress.
