Heroine To Cocktail: 11 Films Rejected By Priyanka Chopra That Did Wonders For Other Actress¡¯ Careers
Global star Priyanka Chopra¡¯s career graph is inspirational to all aspiring actors. Her journey from Bollywood to Hollywood and then making it big there as well is worth a clap. As the news of her walking out of Farhan Akhtar¡¯s Jee Le Zara surfaces, we recall 11 films that PeeCee earlier rejected and that became a highlight of other actresses¡¯ careers.
1. Kick
This Salman Khan's smashing hit was initially offered to Chopra, but she was busy with other stuff, and the role went on to Jacqueline Fernandez. The film made over Rs 400 crores at the box office and is one of the highlights of Jacqueline¡¯s career.
2. Robot
Rajnikanth's one of the biggest hits was also presented to Priyanka, but the busy bee made makers rope Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The film earned over Rs 300 crores and left an impressive mark on the audience.
3. Cocktail
Who doesn¡¯t remember Veronica¡¯s character from Cocktail? A girl that had bits and bytes from everyone¡¯s life put the screens on fire. Earlier offered to Priyanka Chopra, the film eventually fell into Deepika Padukone¡¯s kitty and became a milestone of her career.
4. Race 2
Another film where Deepika replaced PeeCee because our global star held a lot of projects on her plate for the longest time possible. Also starring Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor, the film grossed over Rs. 150 crores.
5. 2 States
The role of Ananya, eventually played by Alia Bhatt, was first offered to this Citadel star but yet again, she rejected it. The film led by Arjun Kapoor earned over Rs 175 crores at the box office making it one of the smashing hits.
6. Sultan
Priyanka also turned down Salman¡¯s Sultan for unknown reasons. The part was played by Anushka Sharma on the big screen and no doubt we loved it totally. Reminds us to play ¡®Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai¡¯ because Anushka was so good at it.
7. Bharat
Headlined by Salman Khan, Bharat became one of the highest-grossing films of 2019 with an estimated earnings of Rs 325 crores. The role of female lead was first offered to Priyanka but after she couldn¡¯t come on board, Katrina played the part. This was the third Salman-led film that PeeCee rejected.
8. Ghajini
This first Bollywood film ever to enter the 100-crore club was dodged by PeeCee, and the smasher hit featured Asin eventually. The film had Aamir Khan in the lead.
9. Heroine
Another film that put Kareena Kapoor Khan on the map was first dropped in Priyanka's Kitty, but the actress chose to pass by. Rest is history as we know what a milestone it was in Kareena¡¯s career.
10. Fanney Khan
Priyanka also chose to not pick this critically acclaimed film. This slice-of-life finally starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the female lead. Faneey Khan also starred Rajkummar Rao, Anil Kapoor and Divya Dutta.
11. Main Aur Mrs Khanna
Another Salman Khan film that Priyanka dropped. Similarly, like Heroine, her part was eventually in Kareena Kapoor Khan¡¯s kitty.
