Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has delivered several blockbuster films over the years. Many might not know that Shah Rukh was the first choice for the role of a host n Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire.
The role was then essayed by Anil Kapoor and when Shah Rukh was asked about the reason why he chose to not do the role Shah Rukh said, "I was very keen that the film be made, because I think that it’s a very interesting topic but I didn’t do it because the host is a little bit of a cheat, and he was a little mean, and I’d already done the show so I felt if I do it people will feel I do the same thing. It was a great film," BollywoodLife reported.
For the uninformed, Shah Rukh was last seen in 2018's Aanand L Rai's film Zero opposite Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. The actor is yet to announce his next project and has maintained that whatever he will do next, he would make sure it is great.
In a recent interview, Shah Rukh had said that he would definitely go all out in his next film for his youngest son AbRam as Aryan and Suhana have Baazigar or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to remember him by.
In his interview, Shah Rukh shared something Aryan told him and said, "'Well, it has been 6-7 years since you've done a great film like that, and AbRam, too, needs his Baazigar or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to grow up with, so that, he, too, knows how big a star you are. Otherwise, he'll grow up wondering why everyone thinks you're such a big star because he won't have the films for himself to look up to. It's been so long since you've given a great film like that. You need to do a big, great film soon, Dad.' This really stuck with me and got me thinking that it's high time I did a really good film like those so that AbRam also knows the kind of stuff people love me for; y'all (gesturing toward the media and fans) love me for."
