Yes, you read that right! Kangana Ranaut was offered a film with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput for whom she continues the ‘fight for justice’. However, the ‘Manikarnika’ actress had her own reasons to turn down the film.
Filmmaker Homi Adajania had offered Ranaut an ‘urban love story‘ alongside Sushant Singh Rajput.
Kangana sadly couldn’t accept the offer as that was also when she was in a very disturbed place after Hrithik Roshan had slapped on a legal notice against her. Speaking to ETimes, Kangana shares, “I still remember that day when Homi called me to his office. I was about to step out and I was given the legal notice that Hrithik Roshan had sent me about criminal charges. In a dazed state, I went to Homi, and he narrated me a love story and I could not just focus on it because I was so shattered. I told him I would revisit it, but nobody knew my state of mind. After that, for one year, the kind of filth that I faced, the kind of butchering that I faced, I didn’t sign any film that year, but I vaguely remember that story. It was a love story about an urban couple.”
Kangana, however, regrets declining the offer as she feels had she shared the screen with Sushant, their lives would have been different. Ranaut feels she could have helped him cope with the industry being an outsider herself but now, unfortunately, it would never be possible.
Ranaut discloses, “When this whole thing happened, it occurred to me that if I had done that film, would our lives have been different now? I don’t know. I just don’t know. It is so unfortunate at so many levels. Would I be his friend and would I have given him a perspective for not longing for acceptance? I don’t know what I would do on finding such an amazing person. That was so unfortunate and this makes me feel so bad. Had I done that film, what would our lives be, I don’t know? I can only think about it.”
