Bhansali was looking for Madhuri’s alternative between Manisha and Aishwarya

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Manisha Koirala, Rani Mukhopadhyay, Alia Bhatt are the heroines of his film but Madhuri Dixit’s special charm is Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The director admitted without hesitation. He is adept at portraying the character of actresses perfectly. Madhuri was cast in the film ‘Devdas’ in 2002

However, he said that he wanted to cast Madhuri Dixit in ‘Khamoshi – The Musical’ and ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. According to him, Madhuri is the most attractive to me. No director like me is interested in Madhuri. I waited at his door for two and a half years for the film ‘Khamoshi’. Hoping to teach screenwriting. But I didn’t get him at all. So I made the film without him necessarily. Sanjay Leela Bhansali cast Manisha Koirala instead of Madhuri in the film.

He faced a similar experience in the film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. In this context, he also said, I tried to cast Madhuri. But failed again. Sanjay Leela Bhansali cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’.

This talented director of India also said, I made sure to get Madhuri in the film ‘Devdas’.
