Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai make an amazing pair on screen but the year 2000 saw something different as the duo played the role of siblings in the movie Josh. The film was one of a kind and was shot in Goa and also starred Chandrachur Singh and Sharad Kapoor and ended up being a superhit at the box office. Aishwarya Rai opened up by saying that Salman Khan was first offered to play the role of his brother and Aamir Khan was offered to play the role of Chandrachur Singh.

Aishwarya Rai opened up to Bollywood Hungama by saying, "I think the cast was meant to be Aamir (Khan) and Salman (Khan) at one point and eventually it became Shahrukh and I think Aamir (Khan) at some point was to play Chandrachur (Singh)'s role. So the cast kept changing at different points of time but Sherly remained Sherly. So I had said yes to Mansoor (Khan)."
