Before Ranbir Kapoor And Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh Was Offered Both Animal And Sam Bahadur
After a long time, two big and most-anticipated movies have clashed at the box office. So far, Ranbir Kapoor's?Animal?is racing ahead of Vicky Kaushal's?Sam Bahadur.?But did you know it wouldn't be a clash between Ranbir and Vicky had Ranveer accepted both movies?
Ranveer Singh was the first choice for Animal and Sam Bahadur
Yes, you read that right. Not Ranbir Kapoor or Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh was the first choice for both the Sandeep Reddy Vanga movie and Meghna Gulzar directorial. But why did he reject the movies?
Why Ranveer rejected Sam Bahadur?
For Meghna Gulzar's Sam Bahadur as well, Ranveer was the first choice. Since he was already playing the role of Kapil Dev in 83 during that time. He didn't want to do another biopic then, so he let it pass.Furthermore, he also had Karan Johar's Takht lined up.??
Sam Bahadur is based on the life of India's first Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. His career in the army spanned over four decades and five wars. He was the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal and he lead the victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh.
On playing the lead role in the film, Vicky said, "Playing the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw is an immense responsibility and a huge honour. We¡¯ve poured our hearts into bringing to life one of India¡¯s great heroes on screen. I¡¯m humbled to be a part of this project that is so inspiring."
Why Ranveer rejected Animal?
If reports are to be believed, Ranveer Singh was offered this film first. He thought the movie was very dark and violent, and hence, he turned down the offer. It is said that he turned down Kabir Singh for the same reason. This is not the first time Ranbir replaced Ranveer. He was allegedly replaced from Bombay Velvet too. The director didn't even inform him about this and he was replaced overnight.?
