Veteran star Rekha had a successful career over the decades as she delivered several blockbusters. However, she rejected some popular movies, including superhits. Take a look:
Yash Chopra’s romantic blockbuster was envisioned with Rekha and Rishi Kapoor. However, after she rejected the role, it went to Sridevi and emerged as her biggest hit.
K. Raghavendra Rao’s first choice for the female lead was Rekha. But after she turned down the role opposite Jeetendra, it was offered to Sridevi and became her breakthrough performance.
Rajkumar Kohli’s superhit fantasy thriller initially approached Rekha for the lead role but later it was offered to Reena Roy. Interestingly, Rekha still featured in a supporting role.
Actor-turned-director Ranjeet’s drama film was initially signed by Rekha but due to some differences, she opted out. Later, the role was picked by Kimi Katkar.
The sequel to Anees Bazmee’s crime comedy first offered a prominent role to Rekha but after she turned it down, it was bagged by Dimple Kapadia.
