Shah Rukh Khan signed Baazigar after Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan declined, reveals Robin Bhatt: 'But put one strict condition'
Shah Rukh Khan , the undisputed King of Bollywood, has delivered countless unforgettable performances over the years. Among his early breakthroughs, Baazigar remains a fan-favorite, celebrated for its bold storytelling. Interestingly, the film's journey to Shah Rukh wasn't straightforward. Screenwriter Robin Bhatt recently revealed that SRK only came on board after both Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar had rejected the role, and he had just one firm demand. Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan said no to Baazigar In an interview with Friday Talkies, Robin Bhatt, who is the younger half-brother of Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt, recounted how Baazigar was born. He shared that he once received a call asking if he had watched A Kiss Before Dying. Although he hadn't seen the film, Robin had read the novel it was based on and felt confident they could adapt it. Soon after, he was asked to prepare the screenplay, with directors Abbas-Mustan eager to direct the project. The bigger hurdle came later: casting. Since the script flipped the traditional hero narrative by making the protagonist a villain, most stars shied away. Akshay Kumar was the first choice but declined. Later, Salman Khan was approached through his father, Salim Khan, but he too passed on the project. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading gold CFDs with one of the lowest spreads?

Chalte Chalte Director On Aishwarya Rai Filming With Shah Rukh Khan Before Getting Replaced By Rani Mukerji
New Delhi: Chalte Chalte led by Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan was released in theatres on June 13, 2003. To date, it is one of the most loved movies with Rani and SRK as the lead pair. However, it is a known fact that Aishwarya Rai was initially the lead actress for Chalte Chalte. Director Aziz Mirza recently revealed details about the portions Aishwarya Rai shot for the film, before exiting. Clarifying rumours about Aishwarya having shot a major portion of the film, Aziz told Radio Nasha, "No, no. We shot only that one song we had started. Yeh gaana Prem Nagariya, woh shuru kiya tha, ek din ki shooting hui thi. Unfortunately, woh nahi hua mamla. And then Rani came." (We just started the song Prem Nagariya, and one day of shooting was done. Unfortunately, things didn't work out. And then Rani came). For the unversed, Aziz Mirza had previously worked with Shah Rukh Khan in three films, all of which had Juhi Chawla as the female lead. The films were Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992), Yes Boss (1997), and Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000). When asked about why he didn't think of casting Juhi Chawla yet again in Chalte Chalte, the director said that he felt it was time for a change, and hence he thought of a different heroine. On the work front, Rani Mukerji is currently busy shooting for Mardaani 3. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Ponniyin Selvan: II. As for Shah Rukh Khan, no official confirmation has come in about Shah Rukh Khan's next project. But it is most likely Siddharth Anand's King with Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma in key roles.
