From 'Queen' To 'Ram Leela', 11 Super-Hit Films You Won't Believe Kareena Kapoor Khan Rejected

Sidharth Malhotra recently revealed that he was offered Vicky Donor, the film that launched Ayushmann Khurrana in Bollywood, but he rejected it.

There are so many great films that are often rejected by Bollywood superstars -- for instance, Shah Rukh Khan opted out of Lagaan because he wasn't convinced with the role. Chak De India! was first offered to Salman Khan; and Aamir Khan, as well as Saif Ali Khan, rejected DDLJ.

We are sure, somewhere in their hearts, these superstars regret the films they rejected.

Kareena Kapoor also has an impressive career trajectory, but even she has rejected several movies that probably she regrets.

"There is no heroine like me who has left more films than I have, and given them on a platter to everybody and said go do it. I think I am mad...I am like if I don't want to do a film I will not do it. I would sit at home and enjoy, party and travel", she had said.

Here's a list of the films you won't believe were rejected by Kareena Kapoor Khan.

1. Kal Ho Naa Ho

Twitter

Karan Johar even roasted Kareena for rejecting this one when she appeared on his chat show. She was offered Preity Zinta's role. Johar was so upset with Kareena that he didn't speak to her for nine months.

"She (Kareena) asked for too much money and we had some kind of a fallout at that time," he wrote in his book. "I was very hurt. I told my father, 'Leave that negotiation room' and I called her. She didn't take my call, and I said, 'We're not taking her.' And signed Preity Zinta instead. Kareena and I didn't speak to each other for almost a year. For a year, we looked through each other at parties. It was very idiotic. She was a kid; she's a decade younger than me."

2. Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela

Twitter

The film that kickstarted Ranveer Singh's association with Sanjay Leela Bhansali was originally supposed to star Kareena. She had even signed up for the role that eventually went into Deepika's kitty, but later walked out of the film to star in Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. In an interview later, Kapoor said that the decisions usually depend on her mood and Ram-Leela didn't feel right to her.

3. Queen

Twitter

The film that made Kangana earn the title of Queen of Bollywood and made her win a National Award was rejected by Kareena Kapoor Khan because she reportedly couldn't relate to the script.

4. Fashion

Twitter

Kareena Kapoor was supposed to star in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, but she left the project because of reasons better known to her. She was supposed to play Priyanka Chopra's role in it.

5. Kaho Na Pyaar Hai

Twitter

Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor would have both made their debuts with this Rakesh Roshan film had she not walked out of the film. Kareena, in fact, shot for the film for a few days and then walked out to do Refugee.

6. Black

Twitter

In the list of 10 best movies around the globe by Time Magazine, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black made a grand entry. It won two National awards as well. We are sure no one wants to reject an SLB film now, but Bebo rejected it back then.

7. Judgmental Hai Kya

Twitter

Rumour has it that before Kangana Ranaut was signed for this project, Kareena Kapoor was approached but she rejected the film saying that it is too dark and ahead of its time.

8. Dil Dhadakne Do

Twitter

Kareena regrets rejecting this Zoya Akhtar film. In an interview, she said, "It's my loss because I love Zoya, but couldn't be part of her film. I am dying to work with her. Inshallah, this isn't the last film she is going to make, and it's not the last film that I'm not able to do. Aage bhi bahut padi hai zindagi. Whenever she has a role for me, I'll definitely do it".

Originally, Zoya wanted real life cousins Kareena Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor to star in the movie, but later she opted for Priyanka and Ranveer instead.

9. Chennai Express

Twitter

Rumour has it that Kareena was supposed to star in Chennai Express, but she rejected the Rohit Shetty film because of date issues.

10. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

Twitter

For this film as well, Sanjay Leela Bhansali had approached Kareena, and reportedly things didn¡¯t work out between them. Later, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was signed for the project.

11. Shuddhi

Twitter

This was supposed to be Karan Johar's most ambitious project. Initially, reports suggested that Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor were supposed to star in it, but then both of them walked out of the projects for reasons best known to them.
