What Kangana Said
In an interview with NBT, the 'Queen' star said, “Even Sanjay Leela Bhansali called me for an item number in 'Ram Leela'. Everyone said I was crazy for turning him down. I can’t do it. Whether it’s Bhansali or anyone else, I just can’t. How can you portray women like this?”
A reddit user while commenting to the particular clip of the interview, wrote, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali said Aishwarya was offered the song before it went to Priyanka. Priyanka was amazing in the song, and it’s impossible to imagine Kangana Ranaut doing the same justice to the song.”
Kangana on Rejecting 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', 'Sultan'
Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Kangana said, "Salman offered me a role in 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. I was like, ‘Yeh kya role diya hai?’ (What is this role?). He then approached me for 'Sultan'. I didn’t take that up. He was like, ‘What more do I offer to you now?’” The actress also said that despite having rejected the films he has offered, the actor has been very kind to her.
Ranbir’s Personal Request
In the same interview, Kangana revealed that Ranbir personally requested her to do a role in Rajkumar Hirani’s film 'Sanju', but she didn’t take it up. The actress said, “Ranbir himself came to my house and said, Sanju' mein role kar le please.’ I didn’t do it.”
