Kareena Kapoor
Kaho Na Pyar Hai was the greatest hit of 2000 with Hrithik and Ameesha becoming instant heart throbs of young cine goers, and 17 years hence we still site the love story as one of the best this century has seen. However, it could have been Kareena instead of Ameesha to grab all that attention had she not walked away from the film after shooting quite a few scenes stating the story didn’t appeal to her, and that papa Roshan was bestowing all the limelight on Hrithik Roshan. If you watch the movie, you may catch long shots of Kareena’s silhouette that swap into Ameesha’s in close ups.

Rekha
Begum Hazrat Jaan was a multi-layered character, and Tabu essayed the role immaculately. But the original choice for this role in Fitoor was Rekha who also shot many significant scenes before walking out of it. Though gossip mongers believed that the character hit very close to home for Rekha, filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor stated, "When we started, Rekhaji was doing the film. She is a wonderful, gracious and loving lady. During the course of the film, we saw things differently. We felt that it's best not to do this film together. We can work on something else in the future. But when reports like this come out, it is not fair to her."

One thing that added to the success of Race 2 along with smart direction and its twisted story-line was the tons of sex appeal and miles long legs Deepika brought along.
