OMG!!! Karan Johar had to beg Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji for doing ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’
Karan Johar is one of the finest directors of our film industry, and all the actors pray to work with him one day, and beg him for that. But have you ever thought that even karan can beg someone to work in his films, no but he did it one day..
The confession was made by KJO himself.
“I had lot of trouble while casting for Rani Mukerji’s part in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. I had approached eight heroines and no one agreed (for the role). (I had) given a romantic narration but no one responded. I became like a beggar,” Karan told reporters here at an event.
“Even for Salman Khan’s part (in the movie), I had to roam here and there. Finally it all happened. I had to literally beg Salman and Rani to be on board,” he said.
In fact, Karan laso joked saying that he had even thought of wearing (a) short skirt and doing Rani’s role (in the film) if no one does it.
“I went to Rani who was then going to do ‘Ghulam’. It was suggested to me by Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra. They both recommended Rani’s name after looking at a particular expression of her in ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’. We wanted a known face for Rani’s part as she dies in the beginning (in the movie), but that did not work out,” he added.
This 1998 movie was a huge success and still counts in one of the best movies of karan Johar.
