Hence her role of the lead eventually went to Preity Zinta who was loved and praised in the film. Other than Karisma Kapoor, director Tanuja Chandra also thought of casting Kajol for the role, according to a news portal. The director was impressed with her work in earlier films and thought she would fit the role well enough. However, Kajol at the time had a bunch of films and therefore couldn’t commit to Sangharsh due to lack of time and hence the director ruled out Kajol from the cast, according to a news portal. It was after this that the director saw Preity Zinta’s performance in Dil Se and loved it very much. After that, the director went ahead and cast Preity for the role in Sangharsh, according to a news portal.
