Now that 'RRR' has become an unprecedented hit, let us take a look at the actors who rejected the film when it was offered to them

Director SS Rajamouli's magnum opus 'RRR', featuring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the lead, which was released in various languages on March 25, has shattered records at the box office to emerge as India's biggest blockbuster. Recent news reports have estimated that the Jr NTR and Ram Charan-starrer has earned Rs 600 crore after over six days in the theatre. The Hindi version of the film has surpassed Rs 120 crore mark at the Indian box office in just three days, which is insane. After the massive success of RRR, there have been reports about a few actors rejecting the offer to act in the mammoth blockbuster. Let’s take a look at who those actors are.

Reportedly, Rajamouli’s first choice for Sita was none other than Shraddha Kapoor. Shraddha, however, rejected the offer due to her busy schedule.

Daisy Edgar-Jones

Daisy Edgar-Jones is a talented beauty in Hollywood. Whether it be her social media posts, acting skills, dance videos, or even public appearances, the English actress aces them all.

Daisy, who was supposed to play the love interest of Komaram Bheem, had opted out of the project due to family circumstances. Daisy issued a statement on Instagram. Her post read, "RRR: Unfortunately, due to my family circumstances. I am unable to participate in filming for this wonderful film. The script is truly brilliant, and it's such a great character, I hope whoever they cast receives as warm a welcome as I have and I wish the production all the best."
