Hrithik Roshan was Offered this Shah Rukh Khan Movie But He Rejected it - Guess Which?
Okay, some hints about the project! This movie was someone's directorial debut and a two-hero project. Hrithik Roshan was approached to star with Shah Rukh Khan in it but he rejected on father Rakesh Roshan's advice. We guess these hints are enough to help you understand the project we are talking about.
Such interesting tales of Bollywood often take us back in time and imagine a different scenario. What if Hrithik Roshan had given his nod to this Shah Rukh Khan movie? How different would have been its outcome? Such questions are running through our minds ever since we were made aware of a meaty project that HR declined. Yes, the Super 30 actor was approached to star with SRK in one of his earlier projects but he politely declined. Which movie do you ask? Well, it was none other Farah Khan's directorial debut, Main Hoon Na. Dhanush, Sara Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan – Trio to Be a Part of Aanand L Rai’s Next?
As per Rajeev Masand's column in the Open magazine, Farah had approached Hrithik for Zayed Khan's role in her directorial. Of course, the actor shared a great camaraderie with King Khan in Karan Johar's Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham and Farah felt he was apt to play his brother on-screen once again. However, he rejected it on his father, Rakesh Roshan's advice. The filmmaker believed his son shouldn't invest his time in two-hero movies as it may hamper his career in future. Since he already had one multi-starrer in his kitty, he should focus on solo releases more. Shah Rukh Khan Has Watched 'The Lion King' 40 Times With Pizzas and Dosas and The Reason is Cute!
Of course, Hrithik complied to his father's suggestion and Farah was left with no choice but to keep hunting actors. There were also reports about her approaching Sohail Khan and it's only after he rejected it that Zayed Khan was cast ultimately. Rest as they say is history. And speaking about this entertainer, Sushmita Sen, in her conversation with Masand, said, she'd like Farah to consider making its sequel. Will it ever happen? We don't know but maybe after she wraps Satte Pe Satta remake. Never say never.
