Kriti Sanon is celebrating her 31st birthday and she already gave us a sweet surprise with the early release of her ‘Mimi’ movie!
From ‘Heropanti’, ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ to ‘Panipat’, ‘Luka Chuppi‘ and more… the gorgeous actor has a versatile range of movies in her repertoire.
Did you know she had turned down quite a few projects though? Or sometimes, things didn’t materialise due to date issues.
See 5 Movies Where Kriti Sanon Was The 1ST CHOICE:
1) Haseen Dillruba
As per TOI report, Kriti Sanon was allegedly approached by Aanand L Rai for ‘Haseen Dillruba’.
Though Kriti was initially excited, she allegedly had second thoughts as the character Rani Kashyap had some bold scenes. Taapsee Pannu was the 2nd choice but she’s now receiving rave reviews for her performance.
2) Dhamaka
Everyone’s eagerly awaiting to see Kartik Aaryan’s performance as a journalist in ‘Dhamaka’.
An E-Times report stated that the project was initially supposed to happen with director Rahul Dholakia and Kriti Sanon but the actress quit the film.
The producers then sold the rights to Ram Madhvani, who’s also directing the action thriller! ‘Dhamaka’ is a remake of the 2013 South Korean film ‘The Terror Live’.
3) Malang
Disha Patani and Aditya Roy Kapur shared a sizzling chemistry in ‘Malang’ and the movie’s soundtrack truly did mesmerize the audience!
Kriti Sanon was the 1st choice of the action thriller but she had to opt out due to date issues. Director Mohit Suri told the media – “Kriti also received offers for Housefull 4 and Panipat. She would have had to waste six months to be a part of my film, as I was figuring out the dates with other actors. Kriti really wanted to do Malang, but she had to let go of it and choose other films instead.”
4) Half Girlfriend
Kriti Sanon was the original choice for ‘Half Girlfriend’ which eventually went to Shraddha Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor.
Kriti had to opt out owing to date issues and her prior commitment to the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer ‘Raabta’, as per Deccan Chronicle.
5) Singh Is Bliing
Kriti Sanon had to leave ‘Singh Is Bliing’ due to the delays in filming. According to NDTV report, the actress had even learnt a little bit of karate for the film, but alas!
“I hope I get an opportunity to work with Akshay Kumar”, Kriti had said, expressing regret. Amy Jackson ended up replacing her for the movie but Kriti did get the chance to work with Akshay in ‘Housefull 4’ later. They’re reuniting for ‘Bachchan Pandey’ too.
