Why Did He Reject It? Salman Khan Was Supposed To Play Aishwarya Rai's Brother In Josh!
Aishwarya Rai revealed that Salman Khan was first offered to play her brother in Josh and then it went to Shahrukh Khan and he made the most out of it.
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)."
Salman
Khan
As
Aishwarya
Rai's
Sister
We
got
to
see
Shahrukh
Khan
play
the
love
interest
of
Aishwarya
Rai
in
Mohabbatein
and
other
movies
and
also
saw
them
as
siblings
in
Josh.
Now
imagine
for
a
second
if
Salman
Khan
would
have
played
Aishwarya's
sibling
in
the
movie!
Yes,
it
feels
uneasy,
right?
No
wonder
Salman
Khan
didn't
take
up
the
role.
Kajol
Was
Approached
Too
Director
Mansoon
Khan
had
previously
stated
that
Shirly's
role
was
first
offered
to
Kajol,
but
she
turned
it
down
and
later
Aishwarya
Rai
grabbed
the
role
with
both
her
arms
and
made
the
most
out
of
it.
Josh
Sequel
Josh
was
such
a
cult
movie
back
then
and
we
hope
the
film-makers
will
come
up
with
a
sequel
sooner
or
later.
The
story
connected
so
well
with
the
audiences
and
the
songs
were
a
hit
too.
Aishwarya
Rai
As
Sherly
Dias
Aishwarya
Rai
looked
so
lovely
and
beautiful
in
her
character
Sherly
Dias.
Her
face
was
glowing
all
the
time
and
she
won
the
audiences
hearts
with
her
looks
and
persona.
alking
down
memory
lane,
Josh
was
one
of
Aishwarya
Rai's
finest
movies
ever.
