Sridevi had her own charm in Hindi cinema. Any film in which she was a part would become a hit. In 1989, she was seen in a film in which she not only acted but also saved the sinking career of the director. Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna were also seen in lead roles in this film. The film created a stir at the box office. The name of that film of Rishi Kapoor, Sridevi and Vinod Khanna is 'Chandni'. When this film hit the theatres in the year 1989, people became crazy about this love story. The film was a huge success in terms of earnings. Yash Chopra did such an experiment with this film, which everyone doubted, even the distributors. People also liked the theme of the film a lot. It was one of the blockbuster films of that era. Sridevi got an offer while sitting at home Director Yash Chopra, who made the film 'Chandni', and the three lead stars of the film, Vinod Khanna, Sridevi, and Rishi Kapoor, are no longer with us. But whenever the names of these four are mentioned, this film is remembered. If Yash Chopra wanted, he could have called Sridevi to his office in Mumbai to talk about the film 'Chandni'. But he did not do so, showing his magnanimity, he went to Chennai and offered this film to Sridevi at her home. In the film, Sridevi has mostly worn chiffon saris and white salwar kurtas. In the role of Chandni, she was always seen spreading moonlight. The whole story was changed Yash Chopra had come up with a love triangle like Chandni in the action era, so it was a big experiment. The story of the film was written by Kamna Chandra. In the film, Rishi Kapoor, i.e., Rohit's character, becomes handicapped after marrying Chandni and becoming the father of a child. In the climax of the film, their son brings a bouquet to Chandni's second wedding. But Yash Chopra got crazy and changed the entire story of the film and broke the love story of Rohit and Chandni after their engagement. A love triangle was added to the film by including Lalit and Chandni in Bombay. Before this film, Rishi Kapoor had given many flop films. But after Chandni, his luck shone so much that he got back his lost stardom. Not only this, Vinod Khanna, who was known for his image of an action hero, got a new identity by giving him a romantic role. In this sense, this film proved to be a lifesaver for Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor. Yash Chopra's faltering career also came back on the right track after this film.

This film was rejected by 5 heroes, 3 heroines, director won a National Award, movie is..., actresses are...
Some Bollywood movies become cult classics and even after years and years of release, fans still very fondly watch those films. Especially, when the movie has Shah Rukh Khan, the chances of that film skyrocketing at the box office become higher. Today, we will discuss one such film that was rejected by 5 heroes and ultimately had Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The movie turned out to be a hit and made fans go gaga. If you are wondering which film we are talking about, then the movie here in discussion is the one and only Darr. Released in 1993, and helmed by Yash Chopra, the movie featured Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Sunny Deol in lead roles. Darr is one of the few movies where Shah Rukh Khan played the role of a villain. Apart from the main leads, the movie also starred Annu Kapoor, Tanvi Azmi, Dalip Tahil, and Anupam Kher in supporting roles. Do you know many actors rejected the movie before SRK, Juhi, and Sunny were finalized? After Chandni and Lamhe, director Yash Chopra wanted to work with Sridevi again in Darr. But she demanded to change the entire script. She wanted Kiran's character in the film to be that of an obsessive lover. However, Yash Chopra flatly refused to make any changes to the script of the film. Hence, Sridevi was never cast. Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, and Jackie Shroff were initially approached for the role of Sunil, but all three refused to do the film. After this, Sunny Deol was cast as the lead for the movie. Do you know that it was Sanjay Dutt, who was Yash's first choice for the role of the villain? However, he was arrested in the Bombay bombing case, so he was not taken for the role. Later, Aamir was approached and he agreed to do the film. However, when Aamir asked Yash Chopra to read him the script, the director refused, and eventually, Aamir was also removed from the movie. Finally, it was Shah Rukh Khan who was cast for the film. After the release of Darr, it turned out to be a huge hit and became the third highest-grossing film of that year.
