Why did Aamir Khan turn down the movie 'Darr,' and how did Shah Rukh Khan end up with the role?

 Aamir Khan was already a huge name a much ,much bigger star than SRK and 4 years his senior

Not a rank newcomer like SRK after Deewana

He already had Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak

Qsqt halter the action hero era of Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra

Which was copied by the likes of Anil Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty.

Dil which outgrossed Ghayal Sunny Deol who was the biggest superstar of the era

Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi

&

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar

Even SRK said he watched Qsqt in college

SRK movies like Raju Bangaya Gentleman

And

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa

Were Aamir Khan rejects even Juhi Chawla when asked about the newcomer for Raju Bangaya Gentleman was said that he's like Aamir Khan

After the huge flop which was Lamhe Yash Chopra and Aamir Khan worked together in Parampara

Yash Chopra's first movie after Deewar which produced by an outside producer

Deewar by Gulshan Rai

And Parampara by Feroz Nadiadwala

Aamir Khan already a young superstar wanted a join narration with Sunny Deol

He was not okay with the fact that Sunny Deol would beat the shit out of him like he did too SRK in the movie he wanted a equal fight and Juhi Chawla killing his character.

He even said he didn't reject Darr he was removed from it.

According to me Aamir Khan was a conventionally handsome person

Who was considered the future of Bollywood

Came from a very celebrated film family

had the option to reject someone like Yash Chopra

Who was struggling at the time Darr was his first big hit

after Trishul in 1978

Hell Aamir Khan even said no to the likes of Manmohan Desai who was unargulbaly bollywood's biggest filmmaker

Now SRK was in a different place altogether

He came in via TV

Had no film family backing only came to Bollywood to escape the sadness of his mother's death

Wasn't considered a conventionally handsome ,tall , strong bodied action hero like Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar

Neither was considered a good looking romantic hero like Salman Khan

Had just started his career Was doing films like Deewana

Chamatkar

Dil Ashna Hai

With stalwarts like Jeetendra

and Rishi Kapoor etc

Was willing to experiment with an anti hero thriller movie like Baazigar

Had no qualms against playing a stalker villain in the traditional 90s

SRK even said too Guddu Dhanoa his first producer of Deewana if my 6 films don't work I'll go back to Delhi

But like Aamir Khan he also rejected big people like Feroz Khan

Shah Rukh Khan turned down several offers from Feroz Khan to work with him | Filmfare.com

According to the video, the filmmaker wanted to direct Shah Rukh Khan and he voiced his desire on several occasions.

Plus SRK was a huge fan of Yash Chopra

The first movie he ever watched was Joshila directed by Yash Chopra himself

& Readily agreed for Darr

Which created a long lasting partnership between SRK and yrf which till date stands

Hence I hope you understand that both Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were at different places of there career.

What are some things about Aamir Khan's film 3 Idiots (2009) that most people do not know?

 There was news that Anushka Sharma auditioned for the role of Pia. However the audition video that was viral was of Munnabhai M.B.B.S. Also Kajol was supposed to play a role or a cameo in the movie but later turned down.

Aamir Khan became the first and only actor to kiss Kapoor sisters (Karishma in Raja Hindustani and Kareena in 3 Idiots).

Aamir Khan plays a college student in the film but in real life he is just five years younger than Boman Irani who plays the role of VIRUS in the film. Similarly, Ali Faizal who plays the character of Joy Lobo in the film is shown senior to Aamir Khan but in real life he is 23 years younger than him.

The pregnancy scene was actually planned for Munna Bhai M.B.B.S but Rajkumar Hirani changed his mind and years later used it in 3 Idiots.

Shahrukh Khan who chose My Name is Khan referred himself as the fourth idiot for not being a part of such a great movie.

Kareena Kapoor wanted to work with Rajkumar Hirani and she herself approached him for the role.

Boman Irani initially refused to play the role of VIRUS and even recommended Irffan Khan's name but later agreed to be a part of the film.

The song “Zoobi Doobi” is actually a tribute to Raj Kapoor and his hit song “Pyar Hua Ikraar Hua” from Shree 420.

According to Rajkumar Hirani the original cast of the film was Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and John Abraham.

At one time there were reports that Hrithik Roashan, Abhishek Bachchan and Saif Ali Khan were considered for the film.

Aamir Khan and Javed Jaffrey did not share a single scene together in the film. Before this they were seen together in one film which released in 1990 and was titled, “Jawaani Zindabad”.

Why did Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla stop working together suddenly? In which films did they act together?

Why did Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla stop working together suddenly? In which films did they act together?

They were a very successful pair

It began with Raja Hindustani

Aamir Khan wanted Juhi to play the female lead and went to her house to personally narrate the script for her

Dharmesh Darshan too went with Aamir and Juhi sounded impressed and gave her oral OK to the dates

However a few days later Aziz Mirza, a very close friend to both SRK and Juhi Chawla invited her to dinner and offered her YES BOSS and she couldn't say to no to SRK

So she accepted YES BOSS whose 8 weeks clashed with Raja Hindustani

Dharmesh Darshan was OK with the shoot schedule modification but Aamir Khan was FURIOUS

Aamir saw SRK as a rival and felt he should have won the filmfare for Rangeela over SRKs win in 1996.

He felt Juhi had insulted him by not turning down SRK and rather turning him down

He refused to allow the modification and allowed instead - Karishma Kapoor to play the role which was a massive break for her career

---

Juhi was not the first choice for ISHQ

Madhuri Dixit was

Karishma Kapoor was

However Karishma Kapoors mother Babita refused to allow her to act opposite Ajay Devgan whom she felt was a second tier actor back then

Madhuri Dixit unfortunately had Vinod Khanna visit her personally to request her to do Mohabbat with his son Akshaye Khanna (Forcing the removal of Actress Deepti Bhatnagar from the film) for enhancing star value and that was a BIG THING

So Indra Kumar had to rope in Juhi Chawla and Aamir was TOO PROFESSIONAL to object though he slowly began to recover his pride

Meanwhile Kajol was roped in because of Ajay Devgan as a friend back then (Friend - Lover phase)

---

During the shooting of ISHQ , there was a major ego issue

Aamir Khan devoted his full time to one film and kept his dates for ISHQ only. He wanted a handful of retakes including a scene where he mimics Sadashiv Amrapurkar (a cringe scene where he applies layers of brown color agent and a wig)

Juhi unfortunately didn't turn up for two days and the entire shoot was wasted with Aamir Khan sitting there the whole day

This was the last straw and Aamir decided NEVER TO WORK WITH JUHI AGAIN and never did

---

Different versions

The version was Juhi had flown to Switzerland to shoot a few dance moves for a song with SRK for Yes Boss to wrap the shoot and for Visa reasons she had to fly down without any delay

This angered Aamir Khan

However later on , Juhi said the reason for why she didn't come on sets for two days was because Aamir pulled a prank on her and she was so upset she decided to not come to the set for 2 days

I don't believe the second version

Actresses were never the kind to miss a days shooting unless it was an SOS

Mohan Babu is known to have physically slapped Sakshi Shivanand twice for a 3 hour delay

Plus Aamir is ultra professional and his pranking in sets is highly unlikely as other actresses like Madhuri have never made such a claim, always calling Aamir professional and a perfectionist

Aamir has EGO

So likely the first version is true
