When a role is offered to an artist in Bollywood films and he rejects it. Then later the same role becomes memorable when played by another actor. Something similar was seen in Aditya Dhar’s film ‘Dhurandhar’. Akshay Khanna received a lot of praise by playing the role of Rehman dacoit in this film, but very few people know that he was not the first choice for this role. Recently, the casting director of the film has made an interesting revelation about this, which has surprised the fans.
3 actors rejected the role
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, casting director Mukesh Chhabra told that the role of Rahman Dacoit was first offered to three different actors, but all of them refused to do it. One of these actors was from South Industry and two were from Bollywood. Although he did not take anyone’s name, he said that those actors rejected the role by giving strange reasons. He said that this is a multi-starrer film and it was being called Ranveer Singh’s film, hence he did not show interest in it.
Mukesh told that he felt a little bad about this because a lot of consideration is given before selecting any actor. After this he thought about Akshaye Khanna. The special thing was that Akshay immediately heard the script and said yes to the film in a single day. Praising him, Mukesh said that Akshay is one of those artists who take decisions from their heart and are not much influenced by the opinions of others.
The film received tremendous response
Let us tell you, the story of ‘Dhurandhar’ is based on Lyari area of Karachi, which is known for crime. Akshay Khanna played the role of Rahman dacoit in the film, which was liked very much by the audience. Whereas Ranveer Singh was seen in the role of a spy agent, who enters Pakistan and carries out the mission. The film stars Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi are also seen. The first part of ‘Dhurandhar’ got a tremendous response from the audience and now its second part is also earning huge money in theatres.
