Being a part of a film with Shahrukh Khan is a dream of every director in Bollywood. From giving massive hits like DDLJ, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Devdas, and others, Shahrukh Khan has, with no doubt, shone out as the Badshah of Bollywood – the title given to him by his beloved fans. However, there are some great movies rejected by SRK, which even he would have regretted not doing.
So without any further ado, let’s roll down through the Blockbuster Films that were offered to King Khan but he, unfortunately, rejected them.
Slumdog Millionaire
Shahrukh Khan rejected the part later played by Anil Kapoor in the movie that later went to the Oscars. SRK in many interviews has said he regrets turning the movie down. Slumdog was widely acclaimed and was praised for its making, music, story, acting, and much more.
Lagaan
Lagaan was originally written for Shahrukh but he did not accept the role as he was not very sure about the success of the film. The role was then passed on to Aamir, who had also denied playing the part in the film. Ashutosh Gowariker however, convinced Aamir Khan to do Lagaan which became the first film to be nominated in the greatest of all - Oscars.
Jodhaa Akbar
Even after the film, Swades did not quite do wonders at the box office, Ashutosh Gowariker was keen to cast SRK to play Akbar in his venture - Jodhaa Akbar. However, King Khan denied the role as he was not happy with the locations that were finalized for shooting as he wanted to stay close to his family. Jodhaa Akbar turned out to be highly acclaimed critically and SRK regrets this decision too. This adds to the SRK Rejected movies. Wonder how he would have looked in the role?
3 Idiots
3 Idiots, which was one of the highest-grossing films of Bollywood, was an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s novel - Five Point Someone. It won many awards. The movie was first offered to Mr. Shahrukh Khan by Rajkumar Hirani. However, he denied the role which was later bagged by Aamir Khan.
Rang De Basanti
It was again that Aamir Khan clutched the role which was originally designed for Shahrukh. Rang De Basanti was one of the best creations by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The public acclaimed the movie and is still considered a great one.
