Known to be the Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood, Aamir Khan has proved his excellence over the years with movies that are beyond imagination.
As the actor turns 56 today, let’s take a look at the 6 Movies Rejected by Aamir Khan.
1- Hum Aapke Hai Kaun
This family drama is one of the most loved Bollywood movies and showed Salman Khan as the lead and boosted his popularity to another level. However, this role was initially offered to Aamir Khan. Aamir being quite choosy with films turned down the offer stating he didn’t find the script appealing.
2- Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is to date making rounds of the theaters and proved to be a turning point in romance king, Shahrukh Khan’s career. But, Shahrukh Khan’s role was first offered to Aamir Khan who decided not to do it. In the year in which SRK’s DDLJ was released, Aamir’s Rangeela also hit the silver screen. SRK won several awards for DDLJ and Aamir felt he should have also won an award for Rangeela.
3- Swades
Ashutosh Gowariker and Aamir Khan built up a good rapport while working together in Lagaan and seem to be very compatible work-wise. Thus Ashutosh Gowariker offered his next project Swades to Aamir Khan but Aamir decided to turn it down claiming he did not find the plot to be very interesting.
