Kangana Ranaut shared that she refused to do films alongside big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, and also revealed the reason behind the same.
Kangana Ranaut recently made some surprising revelations when she graced Rajat Sharma’s popular chat show, Aap Ki Adaalat. The actress claimed that she was approached by superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar to feature alongside them in some of their films.
Kangana said, “Salman had offered me a role in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Shahrukh had offered a role in ‘Zero’.” When asked if she ever turned down a film starring Akshay Kumar, she said, ”Akshay Kumar was offering me a role in ‘Singh is Bling’. As a female actor, I created my own existence (astitva) in the industry. Nobody wants to make a movie on an old woman, who was thrice our Prime Minister (Indira Gandhi).”
Further, she reflected upon the time when she struggled to get work in the industry until Queen changed the trajectory of her career. The actress said that post the success of that Vikas Bahl directorial, numerous film offers poured her way but she chose to do things differently.
“In 2006, when I was struggling for roles, nobody offered me anything. Not even secondary roles. When my movie Queen became a success in 2014, then offers came. I felt I have got a separate opportunity. Like Vyjayantimala, Sridevi used to do movies on their own. Will Aamir Khan allow me to give the best performance? Salman is a larger-than-life star. Temptations…they’re giants of industry. Salman is my dear friend, Aamir so nice,” Kangana said on the show.
On the film front, Kangana Ranaut is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film, Emergency which is also helmed by her. The political drama chronicles the incidents that took place under the leadership of late PM Indira Gandhi in the year 1975.
