'Shah Rukh Khan was not supposed to die in Dil Se,' Manisha Koirala liked the original twist better

In the interview, Manisha said, "Basically, I was supposed to do a film with Ram Gopal Varma, and this came to me at that time. They had other people in mind, and it came to me later. As an artist, I wanted to again explore areas that I had never explored.

So when he [Mani Ratnam] said that I would be playing a terrorist, he also specified that he didn’t want me to play it like the hard one …typically. I had to be like a normal girl, but still show her pain and anger going beyond reason. As an artist, for me, that was a great opportunity to explore the negative side of the character.

I had always played lovable and good roles, but this was different. It was not typical and I liked it”
