Sanjay Leela Bhansali originally wanted Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the lead role in 'Padmaavat' but ended up casting Deepika Padukone due to casting issues.

SRK has been a part of many big hits and he has also rejected several others. One of them is Sanajy Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. While Ranveer Singh was applauded for his role of Alauddin Khilji, not many know that the role was offered to Shah Rukh Khan.
