Salman Khan became a big star
‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ was released in the year 1999. Before the release of this film, Salman Khan became a big star of the industry. On one hand this film was Aishwarya’s third film on the other hand it was Salman Khan’s 20th film. Salman released 2 blockbusters, 2 superhits and 1 hit in the theaters in the beginning of his career. Big actresses were also waiting to work with Salman. At that time, he did not express any objection to Aishwarya Rai, who gave Bhansali’s film a flop.
Actors used to choose heroines for films
Many actresses of the 90s are often heard saying that earlier actresses for films were chosen not by directors but by actors. It all depends on the actor who he wants to work with in his film and who he doesn’t. Even before the release of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, Salman had a huge success. If he wanted, Sanjay Leela could have asked Bhansali not to cast Aishwarya in the film. But it didn’t happen. Perhaps the reason behind it could be that Salman started liking Aish even before the film. At that time Aishwarya’s beauty was being discussed everywhere in the industry.
