Kangana Ranaut is gearing up for the release of her movie ‘Emergency‘ where she plays the role of Indira Gandhi. She has also directed the film. The actress has come a long way ever since her debut movie ‘Gangster’ as she’s always wanted to make it on her own terms and do films which have some meat for her. Kangana has recently opened up on how she wanted to do things differently and make a mark for actresses, rather than just being an eye-candy or do a small role with a big hero.
Now, Kangana has revealed that she had rejected Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zero‘ and for the same reason.She said during a chat on ‘Aap Ki Adaalat’, “Salman Khan had offered me a role in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Shahrukh had offered a role in ‘Zero’.” She further added, “Akshay Kumar was offering me a role in ‘Singh is Bling’. As a female actor, I created my own existence (astitva) in the industry. Nobody wants to make a movie on an old woman, who was thrice our Prime Minister (Indira Gandhi).”
‘Zero’ then starred Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma alongside Shah Rukh.
Kangana further confessed that she wasn’t getting any work in the industry till ‘Queen’ was a hit. “In 2006, when I was struggling for roles, nobody offered me anything. Not even secondary roles. When My movie Queen became a success in 2014, then offers came. I felt I have got a separate opportunity. Like Vyjayantimala, Sridevi used to do movies on their own. Will Aamir Khan allow me to give the best performance? Salman is a larger-than-life star. Temptations..they’re giants of industry. Salman is my dear friend, Aamir so nice,” said the actress.
‘Emergency’ also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry and is set to release on September 6.
