19 Years of Baadshah: Did Shilpa Shetty Reject This Shah Rukh Khan Starrer?
This day That year! Shah Rukh Khan's Baadshah was released today in 1999
Shah Rukh Khan and Abbas-Mustan's collaboration have always yielded some great results. While we personally like Baazigar, Baadshah was a fun ride that we like to take whenever given a chance. The movie that's still so fresh in our minds for its great music, interesting plot and the quirky antics of course, completed 19 years today and the occasion deserves some celebration. Yes, Baadshah was released on 27 August 1999 and we wonder if Shah Rukh Khan will go back in time to reminisce his ol' days and get all nostalgic. But hey, do you know Shilpa Shetty was offered this movie before Twinkle Khanna finally gave her nod? Well, at least the numerous reports suggest so.

However, when Karisma refused the role, Twinkle was chosen to romance SRK in the film.
