MUMBAI: Indeed, we have seen some amazing characters in different movies delivered by Bollywood actors. We take back the characters that create an impact on our minds.
Looking at these characters, we believe that they are written for a particular actor only, but do you know there are many movies that have seen many changes in the cast much before the making process begins.
Having said that, today let us have a look at the list of Bollywood celebrities who were replaced by other actors because of the hike in their fees.
1. Sonakshi Sinha
Dabangg actress Sonakshi Sinha has indeed made her strong mark in the hearts and minds of the fans. Reportedly, she was approached for the movie Kick, which had Salman Khan in the leading role. But due to the rise in the fees, later the role went to Deepika Padukone, and ultimately it was played by Jacqueline Fernandez.
2. Shah Rukh Khan
Baadshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan is indeed one of the most loved global stars. It was said that Sanjay Leela Bhansali approached Shah Rukh Khan for one of the characters for the movie Padmaavat. But once again, because of the high fees the actor was out of the project.
3. Kareena Kapoor
It was during the release of the movie Mujhse Dosti Karoge when Karan Johar approached Kareena Kapoor for the movie Kal Ho Na Ho. The character of Naina which is played by Preity Zinta was initially offered to Kareena Kapoor but due to the high price demanded by the actress she was not in the project.
4. Sridevi
Late actress Sridevi was indeed one of the most versatile actresses in Bollywood. Reportedly, the character of Shivgami Devi from Baahubali was offered to the actress. But the huge fees demanded by the actress made the role go to Ramya Krishna.
