Who Rejected which to movie?

There are many movies in Bollywood which is someone`s loss and actually becomes someone`s else `s gain. Here are some examples

  • Apparently Jaya Bachchan was not the first choice to play Rani Mukherjee's mother in Yashraj Films' recent venture, Laaga Chunari Main Daag. It seems that Shabana Azmi had been chosen to play the role, but things did not work out.

  • Yes, it was Kareena Kapoor and not the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai that J.P. Dutta wanted in the female lead role in his magnum opus classic Umrao Jaan .

  • Sonam Kapoor has declined to star opposite Ranbir Kapoor as his lady love Deepika Padukone also acts in the same movie. The movie in question is Vicky Singh's Mera Jahaan. The debutant director had approached the Saawariya actress to star in the movie but she rejected when she heard Deepika was on board. For the record Sonam maintained she did not want to star in a two heroine project.


  • Ash was first signed for Chalte Chalte - Shah Rukh Khan ‘s home production, but when Salman Khan stormed the sets of the film, Ash was dropped like a hot cake.
    Rani was signed in for the film and her gorgeous looks in the film were appreciated by one and all.


  • Sanjay Leela Bhansali , who directed Ash in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdaas , then approached Ash with the female lead role in Black , which also starred Amitabh Bachchan .
    This time date hassles proved to be the decisive factor and Ash lost the film to Rani.


  • Ash was then considered for Aamir Khan ‘s historical ‘Mangal Pandey - The Rising .
    Date hassles and Ash’s problems with the producers proved to be the decisive factors this time and Rani was signed in to play the role female lead role after Ash was dropped.

  • another movie, for which Ash was considered, has landed in Rani’s lap.
    This film also belongs to Bhansali and is titled Saanvariya .

  • Shah Rukh Khan was the first choice for Madhavan’s role in the film, and Mehra left no stone unturned in persuading him to accept the offer. According to sources, “There were two reasons that King Khan said no to Mehra. Firstly, he did not want to play second fiddle to Aamir Khan.”The second reason why SRK gave a thumbs-down to RDB was, “He did not like the role. He found Madhavan’s role too small in length and thought it lacked depth, compared to Aamir’s character. To tell you the truth, he was shocked that someone was offering him a 15-minute role in a film.”


  • Tabu was asked for the role opposite to Irfan Khan. But it is known that she turned down Shahrukh’s this offer. Was there any particular reason behind flatly saying no to do the role in this film??? Yes, there was…......
    Though Tabu managed to answer that the role didn’t offer much for her she rejected the film, but still the reason behind the rejection was something else. I think by now the reason must have been guessed by the readers!!! But if you didn’t guess it then let me add some thing to your knowledge that it is Irfan Khan who is casting in this film, which is a problem for Tabu. If we remember Irfan stared with Tabu in Maqbool and Namesake earlier. Then what is the issue between the two???Some days ago there was news in bollywood that Tabu is irritated because of Irfan’s ‘too caring behavior towards Tabu!!! She felt that Irfan Khan was trying to show ‘Extra care’ and that was quite annoying for her. One of her friends also said that she doesn’t like Irfan showing to others that there is some thing more in there relationship than actually is….

  • One successful film can turn the fate of an actor. It’s something which happened to Anil Kapoor after the global success of Slumdog Millionaire . But the original choice for the character of quiz-master was Shahrukh Khan .
    Yes, SRK turned down director Danny Boyle and the role later went to Anil Kapoor. However, Shahrukh has no regrets for not doing the film. He recently told a tabloid: “I know Danny felt bad about it”. But SRK was all praise for Anil Kapoor and admitted that Anil has done a fabulous job as the host of the game show


  • Shahrukh has in fact rejected some of the big films in the past. Lagaan and Lage Raho Munnabhai are some of them.
    He declined 3 Idiots and the role went to Aamir Khan .
