Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Rangeela’ was a blockbuster back then, that made Urmila Matondkar one of the hottest girls of Bollywood overnight besides earning the tag that she was his muse.
In a recent interaction, Urmila revealed that she wasn’t Ram Gopal Varma’s first choice. Not only Urmila, but even Aamir Khan also wasn’t his first choice for the hero in the movie.
RGV considered and approached Sridevi and Nagarjuna to play Urmila and Aamir Khan’s roles. A Tamil star was approached for another lead role. Finally, the chance came to Urmila to play the leading lady of the movie that changed her entire career.
Wasn’t it fate that the role went to Urmila instead of Sridevi, who was the top heroine back then?
