kajol and rani...


though kajol and rani were the original choices, the role only belonged to Manisha and she more than proved it to the whole world!

Kajol was the original choice for Manisha's role but she had to let it pass for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I remember reading a story in Stardust about how Kajol's friend Karan Johar (who was a new director then) was ready to delay his film so that kajol could get a chance to work with the great Mani Ratnam, but Kajol being the principled actor that she is, refused, Though I agree it all worked out for the best, Minisha more than owned the role by her mulilayerd and naunced performance.

Yes, Manisha indeed made it her role.

If Kajol refused on account of KKHH, how did Shahrukh manage to do both films? Wouldn't Karan have had to delay KKHH anyway?

reply

Manisha was perfect
