Did you know that Shahid Kapoor’s role of Maharawal Ratan Singh was first offered to Bollywood’s handsome hunk Vicky Kaushal?!
We have seen many actors who refused to work with each other or share screen space over their past controversies, ugly breakups, or even personal disagreements. But many might aren’t that even Deepika Padukone and Vicky Kaushal are among them.
Let us tell you that not Shahid Kapoor but Vicky Kaushal was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first choice to play Rani Padmavati’s husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh role. However, Deepika, who was roped in to play the female lead, had reportedly put her foot down after the news broke about Vicky playing the male lead. She had allegedly asked for a bigger actor to play the role of her husband and has openly refused to share the screen with Vicky Kaushal.
