Many Bollywood films get made where actors get replaced midway, but the films go on to become successful despite all the challenges. Today, we will tell you about one such film whose shooting was more than half done but something tragic transpired, forcing makers to look for a new lead heroine. However, after release, the film proved to be a big hit at the box office.

30 years ago, in 1994, many Hindi films were regarded as superhits at the box office. But that year, one movie grabbed the most headlines. While the shooting of the film was going on, the lead heroine of the film died accidentally.  After this, the makers hurriedly replaced the heroine and shot for the film again. We are talking about the film 'Laadla' which is now regarded as a landmark film.

'Laadla' was released in the year 1994 with Anil Kapoor in the lead role. Sridevi and Raveena Tandon were seen playing important roles in the film. Apart from this, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, Aruna Irani, Paresh Rawal, Prem Chopra, Mohnish Bahl, and Shakti Kapoor were also a part of this film. 

Anil Kapoor and Sridevi's film 'Laadla' was directed by Raj Kanwar. Anees Bazmee wrote the screenplay of the film. This movie was a Hindi remake of the Kannada film 'Anuraga Aralithu'. 

'Laadla' is considered one of the best films of Anil Kapoor's career, but a big hitch was stuck during its shooting. Before Sridevi, Divya Bharti was playing the role of Sheetal Jetley Verma in the film, but she died after falling from the balcony window of her fifth-floor apartment in Mumbai on April 5, 1993.

At that time, almost half of the shooting of the film 'Laadla' had been completed. After the death of Divya Bharti, the makers cast Sridevi for the role of Sheetal Jetley Verma. She was also shown reels of Divya Bharti so that she could understand the character well.

After its release in theatres, Anil Kapoor's 'Laadla' became a hit and took the box office by storm. According to Box Office India, the makers had spent Rs 3.25 crore in making this movie and the total earnings of the film worldwide were Rs 13.91 crore.

According to IMDB, Anil Kapoor's film 'Laadla' was offered to actress Nagma, but for some reason she rejected it. According to media reports, 'Laadla' was first planned to be made with Rishi Kapoor. However, later Anil Kapoor was cast in his place.
