Deepak Tijori: 'I narrated Baazigar to Abbas-Mustan but they made it with Shah Rukh Khan, I asked them...'
Abbas-Mustan's 1993 blockbuster Baazigar made Shah Rukh Khan an overnight star, but it was Deepak Tijori who was earlier supposed to do it. He made some revelations in an interview with India Today.
The actor said, 'I'm a living example of that. Abbas-Mustan were the ones who were supposed to direct it. I had actually narrated the film to them, but they deferred and went to Shah Rukh. Shah (SRK) and I were friends. There was a VHS cassette of A Kiss Before Dying at his place. I asked him about it, and he said, 'Your director came to me, left this tape, and told me not to say yes until you say no.' So he waited on me.'

Deepak said that the directors apologised to him, saying 'please forgive us, we made a mistake. We'll compensate you someday', but Deepak told them that it was 'forgotten'.
Shilpa Shetty has crafted an illustrious career in Bollywood, and she has delivered several iconic films throughout her journey. Among many, one of her classic films is 'Baazigar'. In recent times, the film's climax scene - featuring Shah Rukh Khan pushing Shilpa Shetty from a building - has received a lot of attention among the youth on social media. Recently, the actress graced a renowned film festival, and spilled the deets about shooting the climax of 'Baazigar'.
'I had no knowledge about films at that time, and I didn't know how to approach it. I was like a student on set. I used to be very nervous back then. Because I came from a South Indian background, I never spoke in Hindi on the sets. When I did 'Aag', I asked Kader Bhai to teach me Urdu, and that's when I learned from scratch. I used to feel very nervous about dialogue deliveries. But all of it is okay because I am able to convey. People understand what I am trying to say,' she shared.
