Guess Who Was Originally Considered for Sharvari Wagh’s Role in ‘Munjya’? Director Spills the Beans on Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor | Hindi Movie News

Grab your popcorn, folks! Bollywood has a new gossip mill grinding, and your very own Bollywood Newshound Nisha is here to spill the beans! 🍿✨

So, let’s dive into the spicy tidbits surrounding the latest box office darling, the horror-comedy flick ‘Munjya.’ This film, starring the ever-talented Sharvari Wagh, has managed to both scare and tickle audiences, making it a runaway hit. But, oh boy, the casting drama behind it is juicier than a mango in summer!

Director Aditya Sarpotdar recently let the cat out of the bag in an interview with Hindi Movie News. And what a revelation it was! Turns out, before Sharvari stepped into the spotlight, the bigwigs Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor were the original choices for the lead role. Yes, you heard that right! 🎬🌟

But why the sudden change of heart? Well, Sarpotdar spilled the tea, saying that he wanted to steer clear of a female-centric narrative. Instead, he envisioned a tale with dual male protagonists. A bold move, right? He believed this would make the story more engaging for the audience. And guess who backed him up? None other than producer Dinesh Vijan.

Originally, scriptwriter Yogesh Chandekar’s story revolved around a female protagonist dealing with the age-old dilemma of being in love with her teenage best friend. Ah, the sweet agony of teenage love! But, Sarpotdar, upon joining the project, felt a disconnect with the social references and decided to give the script a major facelift. ✂️📜

And here’s another twist in the tale. Sarpotdar drew inspiration from the success of ‘Kantara,’ a film rooted deeply in local folklore. He realized that audiences are ready to embrace culturally specific stories. Hence, ‘Munjya’ took a detour into the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra, making it a narrative powerhouse.

Nisha’s Nutshell:

In the wacky world of Bollywood, the only constant is change. One moment you’re the star, the next you’re not even in the frame. So, the moral of the story? Keep your friends close, your scripts closer, and always have a backup plan (or two). After all, in Bollywood, it’s all about who gets the last laugh. 😂🎥

Stay tuned for more goss, giggles, and glamour from your one and only Bollywood Newshound Nisha! 🌟
