Must Read! Take a look at the most popular south stars who turned down Bollywood movies

Before Mahesh Babu, there are several south stars who refused to work in Hindi movies owing to several reasons

MUMBAI: Mahesh Babu has been in the news for saying he doesn't want to do Bollywood films. This has obviously triggered some people but the matter of the fact is he is not the first actor to do so.[[{"fid":"16738519","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"1"}}]]


Reportedly, Nayanthara could have been a part of Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express, sharing the screen with Shah Rukh Khan on the dance number One Two Three Four, but declined the role. The role then went to Priyamani, who if you are unfamiliar with, stars opposite Manoj Bajpayee in The Family Man.

Director Kabir Khan had initially approached Allu Arjun for the role of Pawan in Bajrangi Bhaijaan but the actor refused due to his busy schedule. Following this, the role was offered to Salman who starred in the Bollywood blockbuster.

Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly has maintained that while he is open to new challenges, he won't be comfortable doing films in Tamil, Telugu or Hindi. But, if reports are to be believed, he was also one of the choices to play Ayushmann Khuranna's rule in Manmarziyan. Pauly was also the first choice for Sushant Singh Rajput's Chhichhore.

Mandanna was the first choice to star opposite Shahid Kapoor in Jersey, but the actress declined the role saying she was only doing commercial movies at the moment and a film like Jersey would require a lot out of her.[[{"fid":"16738559","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"5":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false}},"attributes":{"class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"5"}}]]

Rajkumar was also one of the actors offered Kabir Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan but he refused to take on the role as he was reportedly unsatisfied with the script.

Anushka Shetty has long been one of the most popular faces in South Indian films, across languages. You have probably seen her in films long before she did Baahubali. But the actress was also offered Rohit Shetty's Singham back in 2011, which she refused to do. Can't blame her, the role that eventually went to Kajal had so little impact in the film that it didn't even appear in the sequels.

The popular Kannada actor Darshan was offered to play the villain in Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 but he declined and the role went to his colleague Sudeep, who absolutely nailed it in the film.

This is not to crap on the Hindi film industry but all the actors and actresses mentioned above are doing very well for themselves in their respective industries.
