Few know that it was Preity Zinta who was keen to play the role of Bhagat Singh`s fiancé in Rajkumar Santoshi`s The Legend Of Bhagat Singh. She had even approached the Tauranis and showed a keen interest to star in the film. But they preferred to opt for newcomer Amrita Rao, their explanation being that casting Preity in that role would only raise expectations from the film. "And then if the audience had to see Preity only in a five minute role they would feel absolutely cheated," maintained Ramesh Taurani who has backed Rajkumar Santoshi`s patriotic venture.

We also know that there`s fierce competition among Bhagat Singh makers. So a lot of eye brows were raised when Aishwarya Rai agreed to do Sunny Deol`s 23rd March 1931 Shaheed, especially when her latest venture Dil Ka Rishta is being supported by the Tauranis. Grapevine has it that Ash had politely asked the Tauranis if she could go ahead with 23rd March 1931 Shaheed. Professionals that Tauranis are, they immediately gave their approval saying it was her modesty that she had bothered to ask them while no other actress in her place would have done so.
