The Bollywood Revolution
After their successful film, ‘Dil Se,’ actress Manisha Koirala opened up about why she did not collaborate with superstar Shah Rukh Khan again. In an exciting and frank interview, Koirala said that in the Hindi cinema industry, male ads usually have the authority to select their co-stars, significantly affecting the chances of actresses working together.
Shah Rukh Khan’s preference
Nepali-born Koirala revealed that her infrequent pairing opposite Shah Rukh Khan is primarily due to personal choices. According to her, heroes decide whom they want to work with, not heroines. This convention of showbiz means that sometimes, female actors do not have much say in choosing when and with which great male performers they would get an opportunity to share screen space.
About ‘Dil Se’
The actress worked for the first time with actor Shahrukh Khan in 1998 and released a movie called ‘Dll Se,’ directed by Mani Ratnam. It was a landmark film for both of them and has been hailed as one of BoBollywood’s best works by critics. It recently completed its twenty-sixth year since release, more than two decades after its release, but it remains a close project in Manisha Koirala’s filmography.
Choices within the Koirala’sy & past associations
Manisha Koirala reflected upon how industry workings and star power impact career decision-making processes. Apart from a successful partnership on ‘Dil Se,’ she acted alongside S’K in another notable flick named Guddu. However, opportunities have been few and far between since then due to star-driven selection prevalent throughout Bollywood.
