SRK
Was
Not
Interested
In
Khilji's
Role
As
per
a
report
in
DNA,''Before
Ranveer
Singh
came
on
board,
the
maker
was
keen
to
cast
his
Devdas
actor
in
the
role
of
the
power-obsessed
monarch.
However,
SRK
wasn't
too
keen
because
he
had
already
made
a
commitment
to
Aanand
L
Rai
and
he
didn't
wish
to
go
back
on
that
one.''
SRK
Gave
This
Reason
A
source
says,
"Shahrukh
told
Sanjay
that
he
wouldn't
be
able
to
spare
time
because
he
had
given
Aanand
his
word.
When
some
people
close
to
him
suggested
that
he
could
easily
do
two
films
simultaneously,
SRK
apparently
refused
saying
he
didn't
wish
to
spread
himself
too
thin.''
SLB
Had
Offered
Him
Two
Films
''Over
a
year
ago,
Shahrukh
Khan
had
revealed
that
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
had
offered
him
not
one
but
two
films
-
both
with
different
settings.
He
had
said,
"There
are
two
scripts
that
he's
(Bhansali)
offered
me.
One
is
a
period
film
and
the
other
isn't.
I
don't
know
which
one
we're
doing
right
now.
But
these
are
the
only
two
I
have
spoken
to
him
about."
Shahrukh
Has
Rejected
Them
Also
But
now,
it
seems
it
will
take
some
more
time
for
the
Devdas
director-actor
duo
to
team
up
again.
A
source
reveals,
"Shahrukh
is
not
doing
Sanjay's
film
anymore.''
After
The
Meetings..
''They
had
several
meetings
to
discuss
the
scripts
in
hand
last
year,
but
nothing
really
worked
out.
SRK
politely
turned
down
the
movies
that
were
offered
to
him."
But
This
has
not
affected
their
equation
at
all.
Our
source
adds,
"SLB
and
SRK
are
both
extremely
professional.
They
don't
let
work
affect
their
personal
equation.
They
are
good
friends
and
they
remain
so.
They
have
promised
to
work
together
on
something
very
soon."
Rumour
Has
It
As
of
now,
Shahrukh
has
Aanand
L
Rai's
Zero
that
releases
on
Christmas
weekend
this
year.
Also,
there
were
reports
of
him
agreeing
to
meet
Siddharth
Roy
Kapur,
who
is
producing
the
Rakesh
Sharma
biopic
titled,
Salute.
A
Big
Announcement
Is
Expected
Adds
the
source,
"SRK
is
discussing
films
with
a
few
other
directors
and
he
will
green
light
one,
so
expect
a
big
announcement
about
his
next
film
very
soon."
