Bhaisaab, Bollywood is a place where dreams are made or shattered faster than you can say "Action!" And today, hum baat kar rahe hain about none other than the South ka superstar, Prabhas, who decided to give a royal ‘no thanks’ to a juicy role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, Padmaavat. Kya hua? Chalo, let’s dive into the drama! 🎬
So, picture this: Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the Shakespeare of Indian cinema, was all set to cast Prabhas as the noble Maharawal Ratan Singh in his 2018 blockbuster, Padmaavat. Imagine the grandeur, the royal robes, the mustache twirling—sab kuch tayar tha! But alas, when the script landed on Prabhas’s desk, he gave it a good read and said, "Nahin, yaar, not happening!"
Why, you ask? Well, turns out, Prabhas was already knee-deep shooting the epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. And let’s be honest, Baahubali ke baad, our man was not ready to play second fiddle. The role of Ratan Singh, though important, didn’t have the meaty substance or hero-level prominence he was now accustomed to. Bhai, when you’ve been a demi-god on screen, being merely human just won’t cut it! 😉
Eventually, the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh went to Shahid Kapoor, who, let’s face it, did a fabulous job. Shahid’s portrayal was the icing on this cinematic cake, helping Padmaavat rake in the moolah at the box office. 👑💸
Meanwhile, Prabhas has his hands full with some major projects like The Raja Saab Fauji Spirit and Salaar 2. So no regrets, only bigger bets for our Baahubali!
Kiran’s Gyan: In Bollywood, aaj ka hero kal ka zero hai. Remember, dosto, in this industry, you don’t choose the film, the film chooses you—or in Prabhas’s case, it doesn’t! 😜
Stay tuned for more filmy gossip and masala!
