Shahrukh
Khan
is
the
King
of
Bollywood.
Every
filmmaker
wants
to
work
with
this
talented
superstar
at
least
once.
Shahrukh
has
given
some
blockbuster
hit
films
which
has
increased
his
fan
following
worldwide.
However,
like
many
Bollywood
actors,
SRK
too
did
some
mistakes
by
turning
down
legendary
roles.
The
King
Khan
of
Bollywood
might
have
given
numerous
hits
till
now
in
his
acting
career.
However,
we
so
wish
he
did
not
reject
these
films.
Did
you
know
Shahrukh
Khan
was
offered
Kaho
Na
Pyaar
Hai
first?
He
was
the
first
choice
of
Rakesh
Roshan.
Though
Koyla
flopped,
nothing
could
stop
Rakesh
Roshan
from
considering
SRK
for
his
next
release.
Things
did
not
work
out
so
Rakesh
decided
to
cast
his
son,
Hrithik
Roshan.
This
was
the
debut
film
of
Hrithik
which
turned
out
to
be
a
blockbuster.
Hrithik
became
a
superstar
overnight.
The
movie
also
shot
Hrithik's
co-star
Ameesha
Patel
to
fame.
Ameesha's
role
was
first
offered
to
Kareena
Kapoor
who
also
turned
it
down.
There
are
many
other
Bollywood
films
that
have
been
rejected
by
Shahrukh
Khan.
Surprisingly
most
of
the
films
SRK
turned
down
became
superhit.
For
example,
Jodha
Akbar
was
first
offered
to
SRK.
Ashutosh
Gowariker,
even
after
the
failure
of
Swades
with
SRK
wanted
to
cast
him
in
his
next
film,
Jodha
Akbar.
However,
Hrithik
acted
in
the
film
as
it
was
turned
down
by
Shahrukh.
Here
is
a
list
of
hit
films
that
were
turned
down
by
Shahrukh
Khan.
Shahrukh
Khan's
Mistake:
Superhit
Roles
He
Rejected
3
Idiots
The
biggest
grosser
of
Indian
cinema
is
one
of
the
Bollywood
films
that
Shahrukh
Khan
rejected
to
do.
Even
after
SRK
rejected
Munnabhai
MBBS,
Rajkumar
Hirani
and
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
wanted
to
cast
him
in
this
film.
Robot
SRK
was
the
first
choice
of
Tamil
director
of
the
film,
Shankhar.
However,
Srk
rejected
the
role.
Lagaan
It
is
one
of
the
epic
Bollywood
films
which
is
the
third
film
in
the
Indian
cinema
industry
to
be
nominated
Academy
Award
for
Best
Foreign
Language
Film
after
Mother
India
(1957)
and
Salaam
Bombay!
(1988).
The
role
was
first
offered
to
Aamir
who
was
not
ready
to
produce
it.
Ashutosh
later
went
to
SRK
who
too
did
not
show
much
interest.
Then
the
director
convinced
Aamir
Khan.
Rest
is
all
history
now!
Munnabhai
MBBS
Sanjay
Dutt
gave
full
justice
to
his
tapori
film.
However,
Rajkumar
Hirani
and
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra's
first
choice
was
Shahrukh
Khan
for
the
role
of
Munna.
Sanjay
was
to
play
Zaheer,
which
eventually
went
to
Jimmy
Shergill.
We
somehow
feel
good
about
the
fact
that
SRK
rejected
this
film
as
he
could
not
have
given
justice
to
the
role
of
Munna.
Kaho
Na
Pyaar
Hai
Although
Rakesh
Roshan's
Koyla
starring
Shahrukh
Khan
flopped,
his
first
choice
of
KNPH
was
none
other
than
SRK.
However,
SRK
rejected
the
film
and
Rakesh
launched
his
son,
Hrithik
Roshan.
It
also
marked
the
debut
of
Ameesha
Patel
whose
role
was
first
rejected
by
Kareena
Kapoor.
Jodha
Akbar
It
might
have
been
a
lengthy
film,
but
the
epic
historical
drama
is
one
of
the
best
Bollywood
films
of
Ashutosh
Gowariker.
Ashutosh
first
offered
the
role
of
Akbar
to
SRK
who
could
not
work
on
it
and
the
movie
was
then
accepted
by
Hrithik
Roshan.
Heyy
Babyy
Sajid
Khan's
directorial
debut
was
first
offered
to
Shahrukh
Khan.
However,
Akshay
Kumar
worked
in
the
film
and
it
became
a
superhit.
Rang
De
Basanti
SRK
was
not
so
keen
on
doing
this
classic
hit
of
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
film
which
later
went
to
Aamir
Khan.
