Every Bollywood actor dreams of being a part of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali project. His stellar vision has inspired many and actors have often said how he pushes the artist to surpass their limits as an actor. While all eyes are on his OTT debut Heeramandi, an old interview of Kareena Kapoor Khan with Filmfare has surfaced online where she reveals that she had auditioned for Devdas.
She shared, “Sanjay Bhansali has to make another Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam with me. I won’t leave him in peace till he does. I deserve it. And he knows it. I told him I was hurt because he screen-tested me for Devdas and then replaced me without my knowledge. But I’ve never said that he’s a bad director or that I’ll never work with him. Devdas is certainly not the last film he’ll make. He owes me a solo heroine film.”
