Shocking,
isn't
it?
While
Padmavati
starring
Ranveer
Singh,
Deepika
Padukone
and
Shahid
Kapoor
is
creating
the
right
waves,
we
were
quite
surprised
when
we
recently
learnt
that
this
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
directorial
was
originally
meant
to
star
Salman
Khan
and
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
in
lead
roles.
Read
on
to
know
the
real
reason
why
the
duo
then
couldn't
be
a
part
of
this
magnum
opus...

The
Ugly
Breakup
Played
Villain
However,
things
failed
to
materialized
due
to
their
infamous
public
fall-out.
SLB
Still
Had
Hopes
Despite
of
all
this,
filmmaker
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
still
hoped
to
make
Padmavati
with
Salman
and
Aishwarya.
He
Reached
Out
To
Them
Reportedly, the
filmmaker got
in
touch
with
the
stars
to
check
if
they
were
still
willing
to
do
the
film.
Ash
Would
Have
Agreed
Much
to
the
surprise
of
everyone,
Aishwarya
would
have
agreed
to
do
the
film.
But
She
wanted
Salman
Khan
to
play
the
role
of
Alauddin
Khilji,
the
main
antagonist
as
Rani
Padmavati
and
Khilji
have
no
scenes
together
in
the
film.
Salman
Khan
Wasn't
Happy
As
expected,
Salman
Khan
declined
the
film.
He
Wanted
To
Romance
Ash
A
source
close
to
the
actor
informed
the
magazine
that
Salman
was
more
than
happy
to
be
a
part
of
the
film
if
it
was
a
love
story. He
was
adamant
to
recreate
his
magical
chemistry
of Hum
Dil
De
Chuke
Sanam with
Aishwarya.
So
he
didn't
settle
for
a film
where
he
didn't
get
to
romance
her.
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
was
left
disappointed
and
finally
he
decided
to
go
ahead
with
this
film
by
bringing
Ranveer,
Deepika
and
Shahid
on
board.
The
film
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
17th
November
this
year.
