The Mardaani actress was hesitant to work with a debutant director
It isn’t a lesser known fact that Priyanka Chopra had invested a lot of her time preparing for Mary Kom and indeed her performance has been applauded by the viewers and critics alike. However not many know that it was Rani Mukerji and not Ms Chopra who was the original choice for this coveted role.
While we already know about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s fondness for Rani, the acclaimed filmmaker initially wanted Mukerji to play the lead role. However, as per a leading daily Rani didn’t wish to work with a debutant director (Omung Kumar). Reason being her two films, Dil Bole Hadippa! and Aiyya, were directed by debutants and both bombed at the box office. Moreover Rani also wanted to do a test-run with Omung before signing the film. Obviously these demands were not met by the makers, thus replacing Rani with the Exotic babe.
All’s well that ends well! With a smashing performance given by Priyanka in the biopic and with a decent run at the box office, we are sure that SLB and Omung have no regrets. However, we are not sure about Rani. Wink Wink!
