SHOCKING: Neetu Chandra reveals R Madhavan got Kangana Ranaut to replace her in Tanu Weds Manu

In B-town, one person’s loss always ends up being another person’s gain. Similarly, stories of artistes being replaced by someone else overnight are also very common.

Recently, actress Neetu Chandra opened up about her struggle in the industry. The ‘Traffic Signal’ actress revealed that she was the first choice for Aanand L Rai’s Tanu Weds Manu. However, on R Madhavan‘s recommendation, she was replaced by Kangana Ranaut.

Neetu Chandra made her Bollywood debut with Garam Masala (2005). She went on to star in films like Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Traffic Signal, 13 B, Apartment, and No Problem to name a few.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Neetu revealed that in her career she has been removed from six films and one of them was the blockbuster hit Tanu Weds Manu. Neetu even said that she was replaced by Kangana on R Madhavan’s recommendation. “I’m talking about Madhavan. He said, ‘There was another actress who was signed for Tanu Weds Manu, but I recommended Kangana’s name’. That actress was me, the one who had signed Tanu Weds Manu earlier,” revealed the actress.

Neetu also shared that these kinds of things kept happening with her and that’s a part of the journey. When asked why she didn’t continue if she had been signed already, Neetu said, “How do you continue? Do you think it depends on me if I want to continue the project? For any reason, if the director thinks that the hero is recommending somebody else… I don’t come from the sort of background where I can (stand my ground). I’m helpless.”

The Garam Masala actress said that she doesn’t hold grudges towards anyone as its all destiny. On the work front, Neetu has grabbed a Hollywood project. Yes, she will be making her Hollywood debut with Never Back Down: Revolt. The action film is directed by Kellie Madison and written by Audrey Arkins.
