Often, actors reject movies, which later get passed on to their contemporaries and end up becoming a big hit. During the 90s, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan had rejected several such movies. However, it was Shah Rukh Khan who didn’t shy away from playing diverse characters at the beginning of his career. When heroes were careful about their on-screen image, SRK went on to play ruthless villains at the beginning of his career.
Shah Rukh Khan’s villain side was first seen in the 1993 movie Darr. He plays an obsessed lover in the romantic thriller, which also stars Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla. But did you know the role of Rahul was first offered to Aamir Khan? However, Aamir rejected the Yash Chopra-directed film.
Recently, at an event, Aamir opened up on rejecting Darr. Does the superstar regret passing on the movie? He told the reporters, “I was going to do Darr, but then I opted out of it for other reasons. It is very well made. Shah Rukh Khan was perfectly suited for the role. The soul Yash ji was trying to put in the film through me… If I were doing it, it would have gone wrong. I don’t regret not doing it.”
At the same event, Javed Akhtar praised Aamir’s talent. The lyricist-writer said, “Aamir’s magic is that he puts his money on unconventional films. I asked him not to do Lagaan. Tried convincing him a lot. Made a list of what all could go wrong. He made a list and made a script with all those things.
