As Kangana Ranaut prepares for the release of her upcoming film Emergency, the Bollywood actress has stirred conversation with a recent revelation. In a candid interview, Ranaut shared that she turned down the opportunity to perform in the popular item number ‘Ram Chahe Leela’ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. The song, which ultimately featured Priyanka Chopra, has since become iconic in Bollywood, but Kangana’s decision to reject it raised eyebrows.

Kangana Ranaut on Turning Down the Song
Kangana Ranaut, known for her strong opinions and distinct choices, explained her reasoning behind rejecting the song in an interview with Navbharat Times. “When I was offered the item number, people thought I was ‘mad’ for refusing Sanjay Leela Bhansali,” she stated. Ranaut explained that her refusal stemmed from a place of artistic integrity. “I said main nahi kar sakti. Chaahe Bhansali bula le chaahe koi bhi, I can’t do item numbers. Artists need to show such integrity. Women ko aap kaise portray karte hain,” she added.
Following her remarks, the online community, particularly on platforms like Reddit, had mixed reactions. Many netizens praised Priyanka Chopra’s performance in the song, with some expressing skepticism about whether Kangana could have delivered a similarly impactful performance.
While the debate around her decision continues, Kangana Ranaut remains focused on her latest project, Emergency. The film, which she has both directed and starred in, is set to release on September 6, 2024. Emergency also features a stellar cast, including Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik. Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, the movie is highly anticipated and is expected to be one of the major releases of the year.
