Major Mistake in Bajrangi Bhaijaan

Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s chartbuster ‘Selfie Le Le Re‘ showcases that the movie is made in contemporary modern times.

Selfie

However, Nawazuddinn Siddique is seen assisting Pawan in finding Munni’s / Shahida’s parents by posting videos online in Youtube.

Nawaz

BUT

Director like Kabir Khan, who seems like the kind who supports fact over fiction, looked over this major mistake.

As of September 2012, countries with standing national bans on YouTube include China, Iran, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan. YouTube is also mostly blocked in Germany from YouTube’s side due to disputes between GEMA and YouTube over royalties.

These actors rejected Bajrangi Bhaijaan

AamirKhan

Sources say that Aamir Khan had date problems and had to reject BB. He however loved the script and that was pretty evident once he was seen walking out crying after the screening

Hrithik

It was Hrithik Rpshan who rejected the movie inspite Rakesh Roshan being keen with the project.

Rajnikanth

And he rejected Bajrangi Bhaijaan over Lingaa

Allu Arjun

South sensation Allu Arjun also rejected the project.

Puneeth Rajkumar

The multi talented Puneeth Rajkumar too turned down the offer from BB makers.

Whom do you think would have been the best replacement over Salmaan Khan?
