Know why Salman Khan rejected Bajirao Mastani with Bhansali

‘Bajirao Mastani’, one of the most loved movies of the celebrated filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has gained the status of an iconic film in Indian cinema. With a stellar ensemble cast featuring mega-stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in lead roles, the movie has captivated audiences and left an indelible mark on the industry.

But did you know that the famous trio of this film was not the first choice of Sanjay Leela Bhansali?

Well, if the reports are to be believed, the director originally wanted to cast Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the leads along with Rani Mukerji.

However, it was impossible for the SLB to bring the magic of this couple back on screens as the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam couple had an ugly breakup and parted ways.

Later Kareena Kapoor Khan was considered for Deepika Padukone’s character whereas Salman was considered for Bajirao.
