A blockbuster was released in 2015. Its name was associated with the name of God and the hero was also a devotee of Hanuman, the son of wind. The producer of the film was a Muslim and also a superstar. Not only this, but the heroine had married a Muslim. But people liked that film so much that it earned 922 crores. Allu Arjun was the first choice for the film This blockbuster was rejected by Allu Arjun. Allu has established his place in Pan India after the film Pushpa. Today he is among the top stars of India. But many years before Pushpa, he had got a film which could have made him the biggest king in Bollywood. But Allu Arjun refused that blockbuster due to many reasons. After this, that film went straight into Salman Khan's lap. Then the one who made a lot of money at the box office was Bhaijaan. Which film is it? This film is none other than Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in which Salman Khan won the hearts of fans by playing the role of a devotee of Bajrang Bali. Everything from the story to the acting and the songs were superhits. But before Salman Khan, Kabir Khan wanted to cast Allu Arjun. He approached Allu with the script of the film.

Rakesh Roshan wanted to direct Salman Khan's film There is another story of Bajrangi Bhaijaan that very few people know. Actually, Rakesh Roshan was going to direct this film and Hrithik Roshan was going to play the character of Bajrangi. But the writer of the film V. Vijayendra Prasad, wanted Roshan to co-produce this film as well but Rakesh Roshan refused. Due to this, things went wrong and this opportunity came to Salman and Kabir Khan. Not Nawazuddin Siddiqui but this actor was preferred At the same time, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's role was also offered to Emraan Hashmi but he rejected it because of the small role. According to sacnilk, Bajrangi Bhaijaan grossed Rs 432 crores in India and 922 crores worldwide. It was one of the highest grossing films of that year. Its budget was only 90 crores. Story Highlights Allu Arjun was the first choice for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Rakesh Roshan wanted to direct this film. Not Nawazuddin Siddique, but Emraan Hashmi was the first priority.
