Pushpa's Cast: Rejections to Glory.!
The collaborative effort of director sukumar and actor allu arjun in the film 'Pushpa' proved to be a massive success at the box office, reaching over 300 crores and establishing allu arjun as a pan-Indian star. Released in 2021, the film featured rashmika Mandana as the female lead, with malayalam actor Fahad fazil and sunil in villainous roles. The movie's cosmic look and Allu Arjun's stellar performance earned him a national award.
Similarly, samantha, who impressed with a special song in 'Pushpa,' was initially offered the female lead but rejected the role, reportedly not wanting to take on rural women-centric roles after 'Rangasthalam.'
Even bollywood actress disha patani was approached for an item song, but due to unforeseen circumstances, samantha eventually took on the special song. tamil actor vijay sethupathi was also initially approached for a villainous role but declined, leading to Fahad Fazil's casting in the film. These rejections paved the way for the eventual success of 'Pushpa' with its chosen cast.
