5 Bollywood Actors Whose Roles Were Brutally Chopped Off From The Final Cut Of A Film

Bollywood has seen an endless number actors rejecting roles and being replaced in movies. But what is sad though is that when an actor put in his efforts in front of the camera and their but is brutally chopped off by the directors in the final cut. There are some many amazing deleted scenes that have surfaced from films over time which we certainly wish had made the cut but because of the harsh choices of directors we miss out on them. Take a look at roles of Bollywood actors that were brutally chopped off at the edit table.

Govinda in Jagga Jasoos – The actor who had a cameo in the Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming musical Jagga  Jasoos which has sadly sliced off at the editing table and it did not make the cut. While Govinda went on a rant about how upset he is, he left the matter saying that as an actor he did his job and the rest is up to the director.

Abhishek Bachchan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham – The family drama also stared Big B’s son in a brief appearance where he stops Kareena Kapoor and tries to ask her what the time is. The barely 30 seconds of the appearance too did not become a part of the final film.

Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil – Karan Johar had Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan playing a significant role in the film, until the scenario turned against the Pak actors after the Uri attacks and Karan had to significantly shorten the role.  In the final cut Fawad barely had an extended cameo of sorts.

Tamanna Bhatia in Bahubali 2 – Milky beauty Tamanna made hearts flutter as the leading lady in S.S. Rajamouli’s Bahubali : The Beginning. Sadly that was not the case in Bahubali 2: the Conclusion, where she was seen for barely a minute or two despite shooting a significant portion.

Kangana Ranaut in Rangoon – The actress went on a rant that some of her best scenes from the film were cut off at the edit table and she was clearly not happy with the low screen time she got in the final film.

Mahira Khan in Raees – There was much anticipation around her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The Pakitani VJ turned actress had some good chunk of romantic scenes with SRK which were chopped off and her role was made much smaller and more insignificant in the final film.

It is sad when the hard of actors has to be cut off like this but the makers do have make some harsh choices at the edit table which cannot make everyone happy.
