Salman Khan has delivered 10 blockbuster movies but there
are still some movies that he turned down that happened to be blockbusters at
the box office.
"The loss of one man is the gain of another."
Whoever said this knew exactly what it meant. The saying goes very well for the
many films that were initially offered to Salman Khan but ended up making
someone else a bigger star. Here is a list of 6 movies rejected by Salman Khan
that become big hits at the box office. (Read: Movies Rejected by Shah Rukh Khan)
1. Baazigar
6 Super Hit Films Replaced by Salman Khan that could have
been very different - Baazigar
Shahrukh Khan in Baazigar
Baazigar was the decisive role of Shahrukh Khan who launched
him in the league of Bollywood Stars. But you may be surprised to know that the
role was initially offered to Salman Khan. Apparently, Salman was the first
choice of director Abbas-Mastan, but he rejected the part. SRK won a Filmfare
Award for Best Actor!
2. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
6 Super Hit Films Replaced by Salman Khan that could have
been very different - DDLJ
Shah Rukh Khan in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
Bollywood's most iconic romantic film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le
Jayenge is another movie that Salman refused for some unknown reasons. If I had
known that DDLJ would complete 1000 weeks, I would have thought twice!
3. Josh

been very different - Josh
Shah Rukh Khan on Josh
Can not you totally imagine Salman Khan as Max Dias in Josh?
Apparently, the director also thought about it, but Salman refused to be a part
of the film. Some say it was due to date problems, but there are some who
believe that Salman could never bear to play the brother of Aishwarya Rai!
4. Kal Ho Na Ho
6 Super Hit Films Replaced by Salman Khan that could have
been very different - Kal Ho Na Ho
Saif Ali Khan in Kal Ho Na Ho
Salman also featured the role of Aman (later played by Saif
Ali Khan) in Kal Ho Na Ho. Perhaps the idea of just being a secondary actor
to Shah Rukh Khan did not go so well.
5. Chak De! India
6 Super Hit Films Replaced by Salman Khan that could have
been very different - Chak De India
Shah Rukh Khan on Chak De! India
Another of the highly acclaimed roles of Shah Rukh Khan as
coach of the Indigenous Women's Hockey Team was first offered to Salman.
Unfortunately, he turned down the paper because of a busy schedule. (Read: Vote

6. Ghajini
6 Super Hit Films Replaced by Salman Khan that could have
been very different - Ghajini
Aamir Khan in Ghajini
Now, this role was definitely made for Salman Khan in every
way. Although Aamir Khan did an excellent job, Salman could also have played
the role well. In fact, Aamir himself recommended the name of Salman after
reading the script. But the paper ultimately fell on Aamir's lap. (Read: Salman

Do not you think all these films have been very different if
Salman Khan was the leader? What role should Salman Khan not have rejected?
