Harshvardhan Rane recently revealed that he turned down an opportunity to debut in Bollywood with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2013 blockbuster, '
Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela
'. The actor was offered the role of Deepika Padukone's brother, a character with negative shades, which he declined to avoid being typecast.
According to OTT Play, Rane shared that being approached by Sanjay Leela Bhansali was a career highlight. However, he declined the offer as he wanted to avoid being typecast in negative roles. He aimed to break the norm, even though it meant missing out on significant opportunities.
Despite the film's success, Rane harbors no regrets about his choice. He expressed his admiration for Bhansali and his desire to collaborate in the future, saying that he has no regrets and also it's any actor's dream to be part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film. He said, "I would love to work with him. I hope he has something for me in his next film."
Rane eventually made his Bollywood debut in 2016 with '
Sanam Teri Kasam
', a romantic drama where he portrayed the lead role of Inder, opposite Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane. The film, directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, received mixed reviews upon its initial release but has garnered a cult following over the years.
Interestingly, 'Sanam Teri Kasam' was re-released in theaters recently and has been performing exceptionally well at the box office. The film has earned double its original lifetime run already, indicating its enduring appeal among audiences.
In light of the film's renewed success, directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru have recently confirmed that a sequel is in the works. They revealed that the script for '
Sanam Teri Kasam 2
' has been finalized, and they have a clear vision for the continuation of Inder's story. They aim to release the sequel by Valentine's Day next year, much to the excitement of fans.
As anticipation builds for 'Sanam Teri Kasam 2', audiences are eager to see how Rane's character evolves in the sequel.
