It is really interesting to know how our Tollywood stars rejected movies that later became phenomenal and created a market to the Tamil actors in Telugu. Many of us know that Rajnikanth do not have a market at all before Basha released in Telugu. It is Kamal Hassan who got more following than the Tamil super star thanks to the movies he acted in the direction of K Viswanath. The Telugu version of Basha was initially offered to Chiranjeevi who for some reason known to him only rejected it. It turned out to be a good money earner creating a market for Rajnikanth overnight. Mani Ratnam offered the role of Mammutty in the movie Dalapathi to Chiranjeevi initially, who rejected it quoting the larger than life image he has in Telugu and it would not be good if it releases in Telugu. Quoting the same reason Mahesh rejected the one of roles offered to him in Yuva. Mani Ratnam's Gharshana was initially planned to be made with Nagajuna and Venkatesh in Telugu, which did not work out as Nagarjuna backed out at the last moment.
