There is no denying the fact that the Bollywood office can be harsh and unpredictable most of the time. One day good or bad day at the box office can change the whole fate of a movie. Call it bad luck or audiences’ choice but there is a number of Bollywood movies that failed to cross the hit mark and turned out to be a commercial flop. But in reality, these were the most-worthy movies that not just impressed the audience but also won many international awards. Today, here we bring you a list of the top 8 Bollywood celebrities who were not the first choice for these blockbuster hits:
1. Andaz Apna Apna: it is hard to believe that the movie which changed the whole comedy genre and gave us some solid reason to laugh, it originally a flop. With a star-studded cast including, Aamir khan, Salman Khan, Karishma Kapoor, and Raveena Tandon, did well in Mumbai, but in other parts, it got stamped as a flop.
2. Shahid: One of the most heart-wrenching cult classics of the Bollywood industry, Shahid failed to collect big at the box office. Being ahead of its time, the movie portrays the life story of a lawyer who is also a human rights activist. Starring Rajkumar Rao in lead, Shahid clinched big awards on the International stage.
3. Swades: A movie that pumped the unsaid feeling of patriotism in all our veins was sadly a commercial flop. Watching an NRI played by SRK returning back to his motherland to transform or inspire hir village is a true delight to watch.
