Devdaas is one film which right from the day of its conception has been making and breaking hearts.
First something went 'crack' for Kareena when she heard that she was not in the film despite an impressive audition.
Chandrachud followed suit. He became as vocal as he could for his deep desire to don on the role of the jilted lover, but no luck. It is said that he has become a 'Devdaas' himself, in grief over his loss of the coveted role.
Sushmita Sen thought she was good enough to be 'Chandramukhi' but Sanjay explained that knowledge of classical dance was essential to the character. Sen's heart shattered.
Sanjay Bhansali approached Govinda to do the role of the fun-loving character of 'Devdas's friend 'Chunnilal' in the film. Govinda refused without giving it a thought, thereby breaking Sanjay's heart. He knew Chi Chi could do justice to the role with his flair for comedy.
This, hopefully is the last in the series of heart-breaks Devdaas has experienced and the film happily hops to the screens soon.
