Kangana Ranaut as Tanu has been appreciated for her performance in Tanu Weds Manu and we can't even imagine any other leading lady taking the Queen actor's place. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Neetu Chandra revealed that she was the original choice for the movie and not Kangana. 

Neetu recalled a comment made by actor R Madhavan in the past when he had claimed to have recommended Kangana for the lead role in Tanu Weds Manu. "I'm talking about Madhavan. He said, 'There was another actress who was signed for Tanu Weds Manu, but I recommended Kangana's name'," Neetu told Bollywood Hungama, adding, "That actress was me, the one who had signed Tanu Weds Manu earlier."

She added, "These kinds of things kept happening. I was removed from six movies in the past. No one would pick up the phone and call me. Neetu had to (make calls) for Neetu. But this is the journey, and this is how I had to learn things."

Neetu was asked why Aanand L Rai did not continue if she had been signed for the big project. She said, "How do you continue? Do you think it depends on me if I want to continue the project? For any reason, if the director thinks that the hero is recommending somebody else... I don't come from the sort of background where I can (stand my ground). I'm helpless.

Tanu Weds Manu changed Kangana's game and posted it, she was seen as an A-List heroine. All of this success could have been a game-changer for actress Neetu Chandra.

We wonder what Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan have to say about it!
