3. Waheeda Rehman
For the movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, actress Waheeda Rehman was the initial choice to play the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s mother. However, her husband had passed away at the time which made it impossible for her to carry on with the shoot. That is when late actress Achala Sachdev got roped in for the role.
4. Rekha
Yes, Tabu made the role of Begum Hazrat Jaan Mahal in Fitoor look so natural and beautiful. But did you know this role was initially made for Rekha? If this report is to be believed, Rekha walked out of the film because of uncanny similarities between her and the character of Begum Hazrat Jaan Mahal.
5. Arjun Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor was supposed to play the role of Kabir in Kabir Singh but since Sandeep Reddy Vanga had met Shahid before, he wanted to cast Shahid only in the lead role. Hence Arjun Kapoor backed off the project and Shahid Kapoor gave us one of his best performances… ever!
