Pushpa, the Telugu film that starred Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna has become one the biggest hits of the decade and has been translated into languages like Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, and even Hindi. The movie was directed by Sukumar.
The film had some brilliant star cast but after the success of the film, Sukumar, the director spoke about how many actors rejected the film, and finally, it fell into the cast that it currently has.
Who are these stars?
The lead role essayed by Allu Arjun was first offered to Mahesh Babu but apparently, the things did not materialize and the film finally fell into the lap of Allu Arjun.
Rashmika Mandanna who played the Srivalli was widely appreciated but the role was first offered to Samantha Ruth Prabhu who rejected the role for reasons not known.
Even the Oo Antava was not accepted by Samantha at first but Allu Arjun was convinced for the same.
But the first choice for Oo Antava was either Disha Patani or Nora Fatehi but both rejected the role for various reasons but today the song is where it is.
Fahad Fasil who played the role of Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, the police officer was first offered to Vijay Sethupathi but he rejected the role and it fell to Fahad.
