Here’s wishing the gorgeous Katrina Kaif a very happy 38th birthday!
While we have enjoyed the blockbuster movies that she was a part of, you’ll be shocked to know the films that she has rejected.
1. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Yes, not Deepika Padukone but Katrina Kaif was the first choice for Naina’s role in this hit 2015 movie. Reportedly, Katrina rejected this film due to date issues, which later went to DP.
2. Chennai Express
Katrina’s loss has become Deepika’s gain for more than once it seems. According to media reports, the ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ actress turned down the offer because of the character’s (Tamilian girl Menamma) accent and tone, which she needed to imbibe.
3. Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela
This came as a shock, right? Reportedly, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali had approached Katrina first for Leela’s role but she apparently turned it down for some unknown reasons.
4. Bajirao Mastani
Looks like Katrina missed out on another opportunity to work with Ranveer Singh. She was apparently offered Deepika’s role- Mastani. However, she supposedly refused to be a part of this period drama for unknown reasons.
5. Barfi!
Director Anurag Basu wanted to cast Katrina for Ileana D’Cruz’s role. The actress was supposedly reluctant to play the role and lost out on the chance of romancing her then-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor onscreen.
6. Half Girlfriend
If this media report is to be believed, Katrina refused this film because she felt she might look older than Arjun Kapoor and it could hurt the film. The role later went to Shraddha Kapoor.
7. Gunday
Katrina Kaif had been offered the role opposite Ranveer Singh & Arjun Kapoor. However, she apparently rejected the role, and later, Priyanka Chopra was signed for the film.
