Kangana Ranaut had refused a movie which was going to star Sushant Singh Rajput and Irrfan Khan in the lead roles
Kangana Ranaut is one of the names who makes headlines every second day since actor Sushant Singh Rajput's demise. The 'Queen' actress has often spoken about movie mafia, how outsiders are treated ill, and how starkids steal projects from people who do not have a Godfather in the industry.
She has gone on record to state that the mafia worked together to ruin Sushant's film career, and that she would have loved to work with Sushant in a movie. Soon after, all the projects SSR lost out on, and films which either got shelved or almost got shelved, came out in the open. One project we came across was Homi Adajania's film opposite Irrfan Khan, which Kangana Ranaut backed out of. Eventually, the film was never made, at least not with both Sushant and Irrfan in them.
Kangana Ranaut had rejected the film back in 2016, stating she had date issues. She was working on 'Rangoon' opposite Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan at that time, and was just about to commence Hansal Mehta's film 'Simran' then.
"Homi (Adajania) has narrated the (story) idea to Kangana (Ranaut) and she is keen to work with him. But she is already committed to Hansal Mehta's film after 'Rangoon'. And the dates are clashing. But they have promised to work with each other in the future," sources had told PTI on March 21, 2016.
Kangana had also finalized the project on Rani Laxmibai back then. Ketan Mehta was roped in as the director of the film in 2016. Eventually, Kangana went on to direct the film on her own, and it was named, 'Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi'. The project also marked Ankita Lokhande's debut in Bollywood.
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14, 2020. His death case is currently being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Co-incidentally even actor Irrfan Khan passed away earlier this year. The legendary actor died of colon infection on April 29, 2020, after his long battle with cancer.
