Kangana Ranaut claimed she was offered Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero (2018) and Akshay Kumar’s film Singh Is Bliing (2015). She also claimed that Aamir Khan and Salman Khan also offered her the leads in their films. But she turned down both the offers. In a new interview, the actress said that she was considered for some of the biggest films in the last decade but she refused them. She said she wanted to do films that one would not usually do, such as playing Indira Gandhi in Emergency.
Speaking on Aap Ki Adalat, 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).”
Kangana added that there was a time when she struggled to get work. However, her life changed after Queen. While offers poured in, she did not want to do everything coming her way. “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,” she said.
Kangana had previously claimed that she was offered Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju. She was allegedly offered the role of the journalist who played the film, which was eventually portrayed by Anushka Sharma.
Meanwhile, Kangana’s upcoming film, Emergency, is slated to release on September 6. The actress not only stars in the film but also is directing it.
