Raveena Tandon trivia: When the actor turned down 'Darr'

Yash Chopra’s first choice for playing the role of Kiran was not Juhi Chawla. After undergoing changes at the pre-production stage, the role was offered to Raveena Tandon. The actor-director duo had previously worked together in a 1993 multi-starrer, Parampara. Soon after, the actor turned down the role.

According to a report by Film Companion, Raveen Tandon turned down the offer due to costume requirements. The role would have had her wearing swimwear and the actor was not comfortable exposing on the big screen. Thus, the role of Kiran was then offered to Juhi Chawla.
