It is a known fact that the musical romantic film Maine Pyar Kiya is regarded as one of the most successful films of the country.

It was also the debut film of Bollywood hunk Salman Khan in a leading role which earned him loads of love and accolades.

But readers, did you know the role was also offered to the superstar of Bengal Prosenjit Chatterjee?

Yes, you read it right!

He was not only offered Maine Pyar Kiya but also Sanjay Dutt’s role in Saajan. Interestingly, both the films were blockbusters.

Prosenjit, who is said to be very fond of duck's eggs, said to a daily, “I did not want to jeopardize my Bengali film career at that time. I tried my hand in three Hindi films but those were not really very well thought-out or conscious decisions. They flopped. Back home [in Kolkata], after ‘Amar Sangi’ became a phenomenon and established me as a hero, I found a lot to do here.”

“Risking all those to pursue a career in Mumbai may not have been wise. So, I refused offers, which included films such as ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ and ‘Saajan’,” he added.

Interesting, isn’t it?
