Producer
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
says
that
Shahrukh
Khan
had
always
been
his
first
choice
for
most
of
his
films,
be
it
3
Idiots,
Munnabhai
MBBS,
or
the
yet-to-be
released
Ferrari
Ki
Sawari.
Shahrukh
was
offered
3
Idiots,
Ferrari
Ki
Sawari,
Munnabhai
and
other
films
before
other
actors
were
finalised.
PTI
reported
Chopra
as
saying,
"He
is
our
first
guy
-
we
go
to
him
first
and
if
he
says
no,
then
we
move
on." Shahrukh
had
backed
out
of
Munnabhai
MBBS
because
of
back
trouble
and
could
not
do
3
Idiots
because
of
date
issues.
If
Chopra
had
his
way,
SRK
would
have
been
the
Munnabhai
of
Munnabhai
MBBS
and
Sanjay
Dutt
would
have
played
the
small
role
of
Zaheer,
a
cancer
patient.
"Today,
I
feel
Sanjay
is
perfect
as
Munna
and
same
way
Sharman
fits
the
central
role
in
Ferrari
Ki
Sawari.
It
is
all
about
writing
and
getting
the
right
actor
for
the
right
role,
which
is
difficult,"
Chopra
said.
