Kangana
Ranaut
was
offered
a
significant
role
in
the
Krrish
sequel
but
she
turned
down
the
role.
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Hrithik
Roshan
play
lead
parts
in
the
film.
Kangana
and
the
Roshans
became
friends
after
Kites,
she
was
the
natural
choice
for
the
second
lead
role.
The
part
is
along
the
lines
of
Catwoman
but
she
turned
it
down.
According
to
a
source,
both
papa
and
beta
Roshan
tried
to
convince
Kangs
to
take
up
the
role.
"But
she
explained
to
them
about
her
reservations.
Hrithik
even
told
her
that
the
role
had
scope
for
action
and
that
it
had
been
scripted
with
her
in
mind
but
she
maintained
that
she
didn't
want
to
play
second
fiddle
to
another
actress."
Says
a
close
friend
of
the
actress,
"She
is
keen
on
doing
strong
female
lead
roles.
Not
ones
that
offer
just
glamour
and
songs.
She
is
the
leading
lady
in
Tanu
Weds
Manu
with
Madhavan,
Rascals
with
Sanjay
Dutt,
Ajay
Devgn
and
Arjun
Rampal,
Game
with
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Dhamaal
2,
and
feels
she
shouldn't
be
doing
cameos
at
this
point."
The
friend
explains
KR's
new
stance
post-Fashion.
"Priyanka
went
on
to
do
better
films
but
Kangana
kept
getting
asked
to
play
second
fiddle.
So
obviously,
she
is
wary
of
similar
roles." Rakesh
Roshan,
however,
maintains,
"Kangana
wasn't
offered
a
role.
Only
Priyanka
(Chopra)
is
final."
