Well, yes that's right on Rangeela's 25th anniversary, the actress confided in with the Bollywood Hungama and revealed that she and Aamir Khan were not the first choices for Munna and Mili for Rangeela. So, wondering who they were?

It was Nagarjuna and late actress Sridevi. She said, "We were not the first choice for the film. Originally, Sridevi, Nagarjuna and a Tamil star were supposed to be in the film. The Tamil star was out, then Sridevi and somebody else. A lot went down in the character casting, and eventually, we three were finalised."

She further mentioned, "Rangeela's beauty was to run behind your dreams and passion. But, in doing so, you shouldn't leave behind the small things that bring happiness. This may look like a small thought but it is a very crucial one in our lives. That was shown in a very beautiful way and it touches your heart. Rangeela captures the beauty of everything."

She even disclosed that she wrote a fangirling mail to Aamir Khan as she was loved his acting skill since 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' and was deeply moved by his 'Munna's' portrayal.
