It has come to light that hot Bollywood actress Rani Mukherjee was offered a number of roles opposite Akshay Kumar which she turned down.

According to rumours, Rani was offered the role of the mother in Heyy Babyy, which then went to Vidya Balan. Rani was also offered a pivotal part in Bhool Bhullaiyya, a role which again went to Vidya Balan. Both of these films became super hits.

When Rani was asked as to why she turned down these two very good roles, the actress responded by saying, “I want to essay characters which I have not done before. My fans have given me so much love and respect that I want to make them happy about my performances. These films, however, went on to become huge hits. I am still waiting for a good offer opposite Akshay.”

Was Rani wrong to turn down these films, bearing in mind that she hasn’t had a hit film since Black? Are film-makers now signing up Vidya Balan in roles that are meant for Rani Mukherjee? Should Rani make movies with other production houses and not keep herself tied with boyfriend Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films?
