Being the ‘Queen of Jhansi’ I said, ‘I will never do this.’ I will not do injustice to the film. What if Shahrukh comes to know that I have taken Rs 10 crore to cast him in the film? Never, I will not do that. I cast Vivaan Shah because I felt he was the right person for the character and the film.
