In original Begum Jaan i.e., Rajkahini, Bengali film actress Rituparna Sengupta played the character which is playing by Vidya Balan in Hindi remake Begum Jaan.

 Recently the director of film Srijit Sarkar revealed shocking fact that Vidya was his first choice in Rajkahini to The actor said, "I am not aware that he had wanted Vidya in Rajkahini, too. Or why he is saying that today. We were in talks about doing a film together for the longest time. He had told me that he would come to me only when he had a role which matters. I was in Delhi attending an event. When I checked my phone, I saw it had 10 missed calls! He called again and said, ‘I have got something very exciting for you. I asked him to wait for me till I returned and the moment I reached Kolkata he was at my home, ready with the script and concept." Once Srijit had said, "Originally, Rajkahini was written to be a bilingual and I was supposed to cast Vidya Balan to play the role in both the films. Only after I didn’t get her dates and things didn’t work out, I thought of doing the Bengali film and approached Rituparna." However, Rituparna stated, "I am quite empowered that way. I can own things in my own way. I own my character Begun Jaan in me. Nobody will forget Rajkahini ’s Begum Jaan. Who was the first and second choice doesn’t matter! I have a deep regard for my director and am aware of what the film has done for me, so there are no complaints." She also admitted that "I have watched it and there’s a feeling of déjà vu. Every scene, every nuance, every shot is so similar to Rajkahini , I felt that I was seeing my own film only the faces have changed. I was like, ‘Oh my God! I am seeing my own film in a different way!"
