Pataudi Princess Sara Ali Khan turns 26 today! Happy Birthday!
The actress will next be seen in ‘Atrangi Re’ with Akshay Kumar and Dhanush. She also has ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ opposite Vicky Kaushal.
From Kedarnath, Love Aaj Kal to Coolie No.1… even though she’s only a few films old, she’s already a fan-favourite in Bollywood. Sara has been offered quite a few interesting projects that she unfortunately either turned down or things just didn’t work out. Take a look –
4 Bollywood Movies Where Sara Ali Khan Was 1ST CHOICE:
1) Panipat
As per India.com article, it appears that renowned filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker was keen to cast Sara Ali Khan opposite Arjun Kapoor in ‘Panipat’. He had been impressed with her screen presence in Kedarnath.
However, things didn’t materialise and Kriti Sanon ended up starring in the period drama.
2) Bulbbul
It was said that ‘Bulbbul’ which was produced by Anushka Sharma’s banner was first offered to Sara Ali Khan.
However, as per DNA report, Sara was busy with her debut film Kedarnath and her director Abhishek Kapoor allegedly didn’t want her to sign any other film! Tripti Dimri went on to essay the powerful female lead in Bulbbul later on, and was praised widely for her breathtaking performance.
3) Jawaani Jaaneman
Alaya F made a fun debut in the Saif Ali Khan-Tabu starrer ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’. However, Saif’s daughter Sara was offered the film when Kedarnath was on verge of being shelved.
In an interview, Saif revealed that after Kedarnath got back on track, he had advised Sara not to do ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’ since it was merely a backup. And that she should focus on big films with Varun Dhawan and Ranveer Singh.
4) Chhatriwali
If this Bollywood Hungama report is to be believed, then Sara Ali Khan has turned down the part of playing a condom tester in RSVP’s social comedy film ‘Chhatriwaali’.
Ananya Panday too was approached but she has rejected it as well and Rakul Preet Singh has finally been locked to lead.
