In the evolving world of cinema everything keeps changing. What happens in this industry is something nobody can predict. Sometimes some projects can turn around the career trajectory for an actor and become a refining moment; however similarly it can also happen otherwise when they pass away a role that later becomes iconic.
One such similar tale happened when one of the most beloved actresses of India Kajol turned away a powerful role that later became a blockbuster hit.
During the promotions of her upcoming film Maa Kajol shared some shocking truths. The mythological horror drama is all set to release in theatres on June 27th. The film is produced by Ajay Devgn and Kumar Mangat Pathak and directed by Chhorii fame Vishal Furia. The film further expands the Shaitaan universe and will be showing Kajol in a different and unique avatar.
Revealing some behind-the-scenes truths when Kajol was asked if she had ever turned down any major role Kajol replied with her usual wit: “It doesn’t even take a blink for me. I don’t bother much before saying no to anything I don’t like.” She also mentioned one major project that she turned: 3 idiots.
This Rajkumar Hirani film was a major blockbuster with a collection of over Rs. 300 crores. It featured Aamir Khan R. Madhavan Sharman Joshi and Kareena Kapoor Khan. But Kareena Kapoor wasnt the initial choice of filmmaker Hirani first chose Kajol for this part.
Speaking about her perception she said “I feel those films were meant to be theirs. Jaise bolte hain na jiska likha hota hai usi ko milta hai. I think I’ve done very well for myself without them.”
Kajols journey reveals that one will only get what their fate is destined to. While the blockbuster 3 Idiots couldnt fall into her lap it turned out to be a major hit for someone else. And in this fraternity whats one actors rejection is another actors redefining movement.
