When Madhuri Dixit was warned against doing the Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt Starrer 'Saajan' for THIS reason
Madhuri Dixit is known as the queen of grace and beauty in Bollywood. She ruled the 1990s with her amazing acting, dance moves, and style. Even after more than 40 years in the film industry, Madhuri still wins hearts every time she appears on screen. One of her biggest hits was the 1991 film 'Saajan', where she starred alongside Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan . But did you know Madhuri was warned not to do this film? Madhuri was told not to do 'Saajan' In a past interview with Pinkvilla, Madhuri revealed that many people advised her against signing 'Saajan'. The reason was Sanjay Dutt's unusual role in the film. Sanjay, who was famous for his action roles, was playing a disabled man named Sagar. People thought the audience might not like this change. Madhuri said, 'This is Sajan. What a beautiful film. What songs are in that movie. And I remember when I had signed this film, many people said, why are you doing this movie? It's not going to work.' Why were people doubting the film? The main worry was about Sanjay Dutt's character. He was known as an action star, famous for tough roles like 'Rocky'. Now, he was playing a different kind of character – a disabled man. This was a big change, and many thought it wouldn't be accepted by fans. Madhuri explained, 'People said Sanjay Dutt is an action star. And he is shown like this. Like a handicapped person. How can this happen? This is not going to work.' The film that proved everyone wrong Despite the doubts, Madhuri went ahead with the film. When 'Saajan' was released, it became a huge hit. The story touched many hearts, and the songs became very popular. Madhuri said proudly, 'But once the film was made, and you know, it created history after that.'
