Kangana Ranaut in an interview revealed that she turned down a film with Shah Rukh Khan. Scroll down to read more.
Kangana Ranaut has been raising eyebrows with her upcoming film Emergency. The actress has been making appearances in various interviews, and in one such conversation, she revealed that she turned down a film with none other than Shah Rukh Khan. During a chat show, the actress mentioned that she was offered roles in films starring Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar. However, she declined both offers.
In an episode of Aap Ki Adalat, Kangana said, “Salman had offered me a role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Shah Rukh had offered a role in Zero.” When asked if she ever turned down a film starring Akshay Kumar, she replied, “Akshay Kumar offered me a role in Singh is Bliing. As a female actor, I created my own existence (astitva) in the industry. Nobody wants to make a movie about an old woman who was thrice our Prime Minister (Indira Gandhi).”
The actress also opened up about her struggles in the industry. However, she revealed that after doing Queen, her acting career took a U-turn, and things became a bit smoother for her. “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 had gotten a separate opportunity. Like Vyjayanthimala and 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 the industry. Salman is my dear friend, Aamir is so nice,” she said.
Kangana had earlier claimed that she was offered a role in Ranbir Kapoor’s film Sanju. She was reportedly approached to play the journalist, a role that eventually went to Anushka Sharma. Meanwhile, Kangana’s upcoming film Emergency is set to release on September 6. The actress not only stars in the film but also directs it.
