Kangana Ranaut recalls refusing Salman Khan - F

"This is the kind of bonding we share."

Kangana Ranaut is one of the most loved actresses of Bollywood.

She is currently gearing up for the release of her hotly anticipated Emergency.

Never one to shy away from expressing her opinions, Kangana recently opened up about her previous decisions.

Despite being an extremely popular star, Kangana Ranaut has never worked with some of the industry’s most celebrated actors.

One of them is apparently Salman Khan. The actress revealed how she had refused several offers to work with him.

Kangana Ranaut said: “Salman offered me a role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015). I was like, ‘What is this role?’

“He then approached me for Sultan (2016). I didn’t take that up. He was like ‘What more do I offer to you now?'”

Kangana continued to state that she shared warm vibes with Salman. 

She explained: “Salman is so kind. He keeps talking to me. He is even excited to watch Emergency.

“We have a common friend. He sent him and was like, ‘You go see what film she has made’.

“He called me and said, ‘It’s a nice film’.

“I was like, ‘So you have the news but you haven’t watched it yourself?’

“This is the kind of bonding we share.”

During the launch of the Emergency trailer, Kangana admitted that she wanted to direct Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan.

She said: “I would love to produce and direct a film with all three Khans.

“And I would also love to show the talented side of theirs, wherein they can act, and also look good. 

“They can also do something which is very significant to the society. I would like to make a film like that.

“Because I think they are all very talented.”

In another interview, Kangana Ranaut divulged the reason behind not working with the three superstars:

“I said no to their films because their films are prototypes where the heroine has two scenes and one song.”

In her controversial appearance on Koffee With Karan in 2017, Karan Johar asked Kangana: “Which Khan would you like to work with next?”

Kangana bluntly replied: “None because I don’t want to work with anyone with whom I don’t have an equal role.”

Bajrangi Bhaijaan ultimately starred Kareena Kapoor Khan as the female lead while Anushka Sharma was opposite Salman in Sultan. 

Meanwhile, Emergency will star Kangana Ranaut as Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The actress has also produced and directed the film.

It is scheduled to be released on September 6, 2024.
