(News18)\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Following the record-breaking success of <em>Bahubali 2<\/em>, South Indian superstar Prabhas established his presence in Bollywood. Many actors dream of working alongside Prabhas, but did you know that he tolerated the demands of a Bollywood actress for a whole six months? When it came time to work together, she outright declined the offer.<\/p>\n<h2>Katrina Kaif Turns Down The Role<\/h2>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif was the producers\u2019 first choice for the 2019 mega-budget action thriller <em>Saaho<\/em>, made at Rs 350 crore. However, she rejected the offer without hesitation, paving the way for a new leading lady to step in. Katrina Kaif\u2019s refusal ultimately became Shraddha Kapoor\u2019s big break.<\/p>\n<h2>Shraddha Kapoor\u2019s Fortunate Opportunity<\/h2>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Shraddha Kapoor starred alongside Prabhas in <em>Saaho<\/em>, which also featured stars like Chunky Panday, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, and Mandira Bedi. The film earned approximately Rs 451 crore worldwide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saaho-poster-2025-09-fd8228f38df97130718c1cdbb09c372c.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">It is said that Katrina Kaif was the initial choice for the film, but Shraddha Kapoor\u2019s casting turned out to be a fortunate turn of events.<\/p>\n<h2>Six Months Of Negotiations With Katrina Kaif<\/h2>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">According to a report in <em>Deccan Chronicle<\/em>, talks with Katrina Kaif went on for six months prior to the release of <em>Bahubali 2<\/em>. However, Katrina Kaif reportedly felt that working with Prabhas wouldn\u2019t be advantageous for her career at that time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Following the immense success of <em>Bahubali 2<\/em>, rumours circulated that Katrina Kaif\u2019s team circulated that she was involved in the project, but she chose to remain silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying the reports.<\/p>\n<h2>Possible Reasons Behind Katrina Kaif\u2019s Rejection<\/h2>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Some reports suggested that Katrina Kaif was keen to join <em>Saaho<\/em> but prioritised Salman Khan\u2019s film <em>Bharat<\/em> instead. After Priyanka Chopra Jonas unexpectedly exited <em>Bharat<\/em>, Katrina Kaif stepped in to support Salman Khan. However, these claims have never been officially confirmed.<\/p>\n<h2>Saaho\u2019s Mixed Reception And Prabhas\u2019 Comeback<\/h2>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Ultimately, Shraddha Kapoor took the lead role in <em>Saaho<\/em>. While the film received mixed reviews and did not fully meet box office expectations, Prabhas bounced back impressively with <em>Kalki 2898 AD<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">He now has several major projects lined up, including the sequel to <em>Kalki 2898 AD, Spirit, <\/em>and<em> The Raja Saheb<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-1143277332 artcta\">\n<p class=\"p1\">Check latest Bollywood news updates, events and award shows, upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/bollywood\/\">hindi movies<\/a> releases, exclusive interviews, box office collections, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/movie-reviews\/\">reviews<\/a>, trailers, and more.\u00a0Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\">News18 App<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-1143277332 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/\">movies<\/a> \u00bb  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/bollywood\/\">bollywood<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> After 6 Months Of Talks, This Bollywood Beauty Rejected Prabhas\u2019s Rs 350 Crore Film!<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
