Summary
- SRK rejected iconic roles in 'Rang De Basanti', 'Lagaan', and '3 Idiots'
- Scheduling conflicts and creative differences led to him missing out on these hits
- SRK's lost roles include Ajay Rathod, Bhuvan, and Rancho
In a surprising revelation, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has turned down several roles that later became massive hits. According to the article, the 'King of Hindi films' was initially approached for key parts in cult classics like 'Rang De Basanti', 'Lagaan', and '3 Idiots', but had to let go of these opportunities due to scheduling conflicts and creative differences.
For instance, SRK was offered the role of Ajay Rathod in 'Rang De Basanti', which eventually went to R. Madhavan. Similarly, he was considered for the lead part of Bhuvan in 'Lagaan', but director Ashutosh Gowarikar later cast Aamir Khan instead. The character of Rancho in '3 Idiots' was also first offered to SRK before Aamir Khan took it on.
In each case, the reasons for SRK's rejections varied - from timing issues and injuries to a lack of conviction in the script. However, these missed opportunities did not deter the superstar's rise to fame. SRK has since delivered several of Bollywood's biggest blockbusters, cementing his status as the 'Badshah of Bollywood'.
