SHOCKING! Was Rajnikanth Responsible For Manisha Koirala's FLOP Tamil Film Career? Actress Reveals TRUTH
Manisha Koirala-Rajinikanth: Actress Manisha Koirala was one of the most sought-after stars in the 90s. She has worked in films across languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali, and more. In Hindi, she made her debut in 1991 with the film, Saudagar and made a name for herself without any godfather. Known for her striking beauty and stellar performances, Manisha began her South film journey with Mani Ratnam's Bombay (1995), Indian (1996), and Mudhalvan (1999).
Recently, the 52-year-old actress revealed that her South film career failed because of superstar Rajinikanth. Yes, you read that right. Isn't it shocking? Scroll down to read what the actress said.
DID RAJINIKANTH DESTROY MANISHA KOIRALA'S TAMIL FILM CAREER?
For the unversed, Manisha Koirala worked with Rajinikanth in Tamil movie Baba which released in 2002 and was declared a huge flop at the box office. It was Manisha's last movie in Kollywood, after which she was never seen in any Tamil film.
In a recent interview, Manisha Koirala revealed that she had high expectations for Rajinikanth's Baba, but it was a flop. After the film's failure, Koirala added that she never got any offers in the Tamil film industry. Speaking to a YouTube channel of O2 India about her flop career in Tamil cinema, Manisha said, "Baba was probably my last big Tamil film. It flopped so badly in those days. It was such a huge disaster."
She further added, "Lot of expectations were on the film and when it flopped, I thought my career in south films was gone completely and it did in a way."
"After Baba flopped, I stopped getting offers. Strangely, the film turned out to be a hit when it was re-released, which is unheard of. Rajini sir can never give a flop. He is such a kind man to work with," she added.
Notably, Baba was re-released last year on the occasion of Rajinikanth's birthday, and the movie went on to become successful.
MANISHA KOIRALA WORK FRONT
Manisha Koirala's last appearance was in Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon's Shehzada. She will soon be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ambitious web series Heeramandi, alongside Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, and others.
