7 Films Rejected By Shah Rukh Khan

1. Rang De Basanti

Starring Aamir Khan, Rang De Basanti is a beautiful film and was a big hit when it was released in 2006. Shah Rukh Khan was considered for the guest starring role of the patriotic flight lieutenant, but he chose not to do it. The role was taken over by R Madhavan!

2. 3 Idiots

We just cannot imagine anyone else other than Aamir Khan as Rancho but did you know originally the role was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan. However, SRK did not accept the role and it went to Aamir Khan.

3. Jodhaa Akbar

Jodhaa Akbar was released in 2008 and saw Hrithik Roshan romancing Aishwarya Rai. The film was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan, who let it pass.

4. Kaho Na…Pyaar Hai

Kaho Na…Pyaar Hai marked Hrithik Roshan’s debut. However, dad Rakesh Roshan had Shah Rukh Khan in mind for the role. It was the War actor who convinced him that the world needed to see a fresh face. And, hence began Hrithik’s journey in films!

5. Ek Tha Tiger

Well, Salman Khan is definitely the perfect Tiger and fans cannot imagine anyone else. However, the role of Tiger was first offered to King Khan who could not shoot for the film due to conflicts with dates. As a result, Bhaijaan got the golden opportunity!

6. Munnabhai MBBS

Sanjay Dutt was the perfect fake doctor in Munnabhai MBBS and his iconic role is remembered to date. However, the film was first offered to SRK, who declined it due to multiple reasons!

The film also starred Arshad Warsi alongside Sanjay Dutt.

7. Lagaan

Another Aamir Khan film that was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan was Lagaan. The actor was approached by director Ashutosh Gowariker for the role of Bhuvan. However, due to scheduling conflicts, Shah Rukh Khan had to drop the hit and memorable film. It was bagged by Aamir later!

On that note, we are super excited to watch Shah Rukh Khan’s next offering, Dunki on the big screens!
