South cinema's lady superstar nayantara made her bollywood debut with shahrukh khan in the film Jawaan. But, do you know that nayantara was not the first choice for this film? 'Jawaan', which earned more than Rs 1100 crore at the box office, would have had another South star in the lead role with shahrukh khan, but she rejected this film due to personal reasons and her ex-husband and then nayantara got this film.
This actress was the first choice for 'Jawaan', not Nayanthara
Before Nayanthara, the lead role in 'Jawaan' was offered to none other than samantha Ruth Prabhu, but at that time, the actress wanted to focus on her personal life and was planning a family with her ex-husband naga chaitanya so she turned down the film.

Due to which there was turmoil in both her personal and professional life.
