Salman Khan's Objection Led to Scrapping of Original Ram-Leela Song After 10 DaysNext

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela originally planned a song titled 'Thappad Se Dar Nahi Lagta, Lagta Hai Pyaar Se' for Priyanka Chopra's appearance. Late choreographer Saroj Khan revealed she spent 10 days choreographing this song before rehearsals were halted due to Salman Khan's objection over the song's title resembling a dialogue from his film Dabangg. Consequently, the song was scrapped and replaced by 'Ram Chahe Leela.'
