Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who garnered critical and commercial acclaim for his recent release '12th Fail', shared that Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan was his first choice for his period film 바카라˜1942: A Love Story.바카라™

The film, which starred Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala, underwent several changes regarding its cast. SRK바카라™s contemporary, Aamir Khan, had also revealed that he was offered the part but declined it because he didn바카라™t like the script.

This story dates back to a time when SRK wasn바카라™t the colossal star he is today.

Recently, while speaking at Kellogg School of Management, Vidhu said: 바카라œWhen I was making '1942: A Love Story', I had seen his work. Renu (Saluja, his then-wife) had edited a film called 바카라˜Maya Memsaab.바카라™ He had a small role. So I offered him the role. I was the first person to offer him a role. He wasn't a star then.바카라

Interestingly, SRK was also supposed to do 바카라˜Munna Bhai MBBS,바카라™ which marked the directorial debut of Rajkumar Hirani. However, SRK had to withdraw from the film due to his back surgery.

The two eventually collaborated on 'Dunki', the immigration drama released last year, which clashed with the box-office release of 바카라˜Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire,바카라™ starring Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
