Did you know? Vinod Chopra has worked with Madhuri in Parinda and thus wanted her for his 1942: A Love Story. However first Madhuri couldn´t find dates, and when she did, Chopra didn´t want to accomodate his to suit her. Then he refused to give her the money she charged, plus he treated her like an irresponsible newcomer. In the end he said she lacked dedication, which hurt Madhuri a lot, as she felt it was an attack on her profesionalism, and she was re-casted without being informed at first, by Manisha Koirala. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who co-worked with Chopra, when asked why this happened, was told, that Chopra wanted “an actress with long hair”. Funny. Manisha had to wear a wig throughout the film.
