It is like a dream come true for every actor of Bollywood to work for a mainstream role in a Hollywood movie, as this not only gives them applauses but them get fame globally.
Be it Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Irrfan Khan, or Priyanka Chopra who is recently basking the success of her recent released debut international TV series ‘Quantico’, are all such names who have not made their presence felt in Bollywood but also wooed their audiences globally.
But do you know there are also some actors who turned down some offers which were made to them by Hollywood? Well, I am not joking. There are some favourite actors of yours who have rejected some of the most famous projects of Hollywood and must be regretting now.
NewsMobile brings you a list of some of the celebs who turned down some famous Hollywood projects.
Hrithik Roshan:
Bollywood’s Greek God Hrithik has been offered several roles by the Fast and Furious director Rob Cohen, with which he could make his Hollywood debut as the director is apparently a very big fan of the actor. But Hrithik eventually turned out every offer as his father (Rakesh Roshan), seems to be in no mood of his son’s Hollywood debut anytime soon. Sad but it’s true.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan:
Ash who is already a known name in Hollywood is also nowhere behind in making such kind of bloopers. This gorgeous lady was offered a role opposite the hot and handsome hunk of Hollywood, Brad Pitt. Yes, you heard that right. But she also rejected the offer when director Wolfgang Petersen offered her the role of ‘Briseis’, in the film ‘Troy’, which was also nominated for Oscars. Although, later it was speculated that her role needed some cozy scenes with Brad which was not liked by the actress and so she had no other option than declining the offer.
Deepika Padukone:
Deepika, who is a big name in Bollywood and has always wooed her fans with her awesome acting skills rejected ‘Fast and Furious 7’. The reason behind her turning down the offer was that the actress was completely booked with the shooting for Farah Khan’s ‘Happy New Year’. And for all those who aren’t aware, Deepika was offered the mainstream which she declined due to prior commitments.
Shah Rukh Khan:
Your favourite King Khan is no way behind in the league as the actor rejected Slumdog Millionaire. Reportedly, SRK was offered the same role which was later given to Anil Kapoor. But our actor didn’t take the role seriously and eventually felt that the role is not for him and turned it down. And in this way the role was offered to Anil Kapoor which was later appreciated by one and all.
Priyanka Chopra:
PeeCee, who is definitely the latest talk of the tinsel town could have made it to the Hollywood long ago but guess everything is destined and this is the right time for her. But for all those who are not aware, let me tell you that the actress was offered an important role in Hollywood’s biggest hit ‘Immortals’. But unfortunately, the actress had to decline the offer due to her prior commitments towards ‘7 Khoon Maaf’. And later, this role went into the lap of Freida Pinto, and was cherished by everyone.
Irrfan Khan:
Irrfan who is definitely a household name of Hollywood too made a mistake by rejecting one of the finest projects which was none other than the ‘Interstellar’. And it was definitely one of the biggest losses for him to reject such a project as the actor was completely stuck with the hectic schedule of ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘D-Day’, because of which he had to say no to such a great movie.
Ronit Roy:
Ronit who is renowned name of Bollywood had also got a big opportunity to mark his debut in Hollywood but unfortunately he couldn’t take the offer due to prior commitments. Yes, Ronit was approached for a role in the movie, ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ but had to decline the offer due to ‘Student of the Year’.
