Meet Ajay Devgn's heroine who once challenged Sridevi, hid at her friend's house for 3 days due to…, her name is…
This actress has worked in many great films in her career. At the peak of her career, she quit acting just because she did not get the desired role. But do you know that after the release of her debut film 'Phool Aur Kaante', she hid at a friend's house for three days. Let's know why. 34 years ago, Ajay Devgn and Madhoo both made their debut with the film 'Phool Aur Kaante'. This film made both of them stars. Actress Madhoo was so scared about the release of this film that she remained hidden in her friend's house for three days after the release of the film. The main reason for this was that Yash Chopra's 'Lamhe' was released opposite this film. At that time Yash Chopra was a guarantee of a hit. Especially in the film, Anil Kapoor and actress Sridevi, who gave competition to the hero, were in the lead role. In such a situation, Madhoo was very scared. Madhoo thought that who would like a film made by newcomers in front of her. But the opposite happened. Lamhe paled in comparison to 'Phool aur Kaante'. Madhoo was extremely nervous and was not at all sure that 'Phool aur Kaante' would be a huge hit. Madhoo revealed this in an interview given to Siddharth Kannan. She told that when this film was released, we were all here… I thought in my mind, 'Oh God what is going to happen? I hid at my best friend's house for three days so that no one comes and gives me a bad response that the film is not doing well. Putting her point forward, the actress further said, 'Three days after the release of the film, my secretary called me and told me, son, come out, your film is a hit. People are praising you everywhere. Then I came out. Madhoo made a special place in the hearts of fans with her strong characters. She became a star overnight with 'Phool Aur Kaante'. But even then, after a short career, she got so bored of the industry that she said goodbye to acting. Despite making a blockbuster debut with the film 'Phool Aur Kaante', Madhoo did not get the recognition she deserved. While Ajay Devgan is a guarantee of hits today, Madhoo has been seen in only a few roles for years.

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.
