Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was shocked when he asked Rani Mukerji to appear as a cameo role in his upcoming film Chenab Gandhi, as Rani refused and told him to give her Vidya Balan's lead role instead.When Rani heard the complete script narration she told him she would love to be a part of the film, on one condition, she played the lead part.Sanjay, who directed Rani in Black and Saawariya, was taken aback by her brashness and left the meeting without saying a word. He has already committed to Vidya and will not back out of that.It is believed that Rani was not interested in playing another cameo role like in Saawariya just to humour Bhansali, while a junior actress takes the lead.She is also said to still be angry with the way Bhansali sidelined her while promoting Saawariya.
