Bollywood celebs are extremely picky when it comes to signing films.
It is not at all uncommon when they reject movies simply because of their co-stars. Have a look:
7 Times Bollywood Celebs Rejected Films Because Of Their Co-Stars:
1. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-Emraan Hashmi
Remember when Emraan Hashmi called Aishwarya Rai Bachchan “plastic” in Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’? Well, seems like Aishwarya didn’t get over that comment. If reports are to be believed, Aishwarya turned down ‘Baadshaho’ when she got to know that Emraan would be her co-star.
2. Ranveer Singh-Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone & Katrina Kaif’s cold-war is known to all. Did you know ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ was first offered to Ranveer Singh? According to gossip mongers, Ranveer politely rejected the offer to star opposite Katrina as he didn’t want to offend his beau Deepika.
3. Ranbir Kapoor-Sonakshi Sinha
Not many people know that Ranbir Kapoor once turned down a romantic comedy in which he was supposed to be paired opposite Sonakshi Sinha. According to the ‘Barfi’ actor, Sonakshi looks way older than him. According to rumors, RK had named few other actresses, but when the producers didn’t agree, Ranbir decided to walk out of the project.
4. Amitabh Bachchan-Kareena Kapoor Khan
Not Rani, but Kareena was the first choice for SLB’s ‘Black’. But when Big B learnt that Bebo had been roped in as the female lead, he refused to become a part of this movie. This is when Rani replaced Kareena. It is said that the relationship between the Bachchans and the Kapoors has been sour ever since the engagement of Abhishek and Karisma was called off.
5. Katrina Kaif-Aditya Roy Kapur
Though Katrina & Aditya share a cordial relationship, she refused to work with him in ‘Fitoor’ initially. Katrina became picky when ‘Fitoor’ failed at the box-office. She had also rejected ‘Half Girlfriend’ opposite Arjun Kapoor as she felt she looked older than Arjun, and also the female lead required to look like a college-going girl.
6. Kareena Kapoor Khan- Emraan Hashmi
Not only Aishwarya but Kareena also had rejected a movie opposite Emraan Hashmi. Bebo once reportedly walked out of Karan Johar’s movie ‘Badtameez Dil’ as she wasn’t comfortable doing a lip-lock scene with Emraan.
7. John Abraham- Bipasha Basu
John & Bipasha’s breakup is known to all. Both the actors have been quite vocal about not wanting to share the screen space together. When John was asked if he would do a movie with her, the actor said, “Working with Bipasha Basu is not even on my mind.”
