The Top 5 Films That Shah Rukh Khan Rejected

Bollywood’s Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan, is known for his exceptional acting skills and his ability to fit into any role with ease. However, did you know that there have been many films that were offered to him, but he turned them down? Let’s take a look at the top 5 films that Shah Rukh Khan rejected.

1. Lagaan:
   This iconic movie was offered to SRK by director Ashutosh Gowariker, but he rejected the offer. After Shah Rukh’s refusal, Aamir Khan stepped in and the rest is history.

2. Munnabhai M.B.B.S:
   This film that went onto become a complete game-changer in Indian cinema was first offered to SRK, but he did not feel convinced with the script. Again, Sanjay Dutt took his place and shone brightly in the film.

3. Robot:
   One of the biggest hits in Rajinikanth’s career, Robot was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan. However, he declined the offer and the role eventually went to Rajinikanth.

4. Jodhaa Akbar:
   The period drama which starred Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, was first offered to SRK. Apparently, he was not too keen on playing an emperor, which is why he turned down the role.

5. 3 Idiots:
   Another super hit, which did wonders for Aamir Khan, was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan. Once again, he declined the pitch, and Aamir Khan took the role to make it an absolute win.

Conclusion

Although Shah Rukh Khan may have missed out on these films, his extraordinary talent has helped him create his own blockbuster career. It is evident that though being a part of these blockbusters would have been a generous plus, King Khan’s heart lies in the choices he made.
