Whose base was on a Game which was to be played between countries. Kabir Khan was kicked out as a coach coz of his religion & he was playing against Pakistan. If the film was based on Inter Hockey competition within India, u would have been right.

Also, this article stating reason is not the actual reason. Salman wanted final match of women's hockey between India / Pakistan, so that from where film started, it should have ended there. But with Adi, something didn't worked out.

Why Salman Khan Rejected 'Chak De India' ?

Salman Khan had a remarkable comeback with Tere Naam in 2003 and all those who were questioning his box-office status became quiet. He further consolidated his standing with hits like Mujhse Shaadi Karodi, Maine Pyaar Kyon Kiya and No Entry. During that time, Aditya Chopra was expanding Yash Raj productions big time and he was on a golden run with successes like Bunty Aur Babli, Salaam Namaste, Veer Zaara, Dhoom and Hum Tum behind him. Aditya planned 'Chak De! India' with Shimit Amin who was fresh with the stupendous acclaim for his debut directorial venture 'Ab Tak Chappan'. Chak De was written by Jaideep Sahni and it was based on Indian women hockey triumph. As Salman and Yash Raj Productions had never worked together, Aditya was very keen to have Salman playing the main lead 'Kabir Khan' in the movie. Repeated meetings and talks happened between the two parties but they both could not come on common terms with each other.

Inter-Hockey competition ya WC...the film was about an underdog women's team making a name for themselves, proving everyone wrong in the process. World level pe karein ya domestic, end goal was the same. It was also about the Muslim man fighting for redemption. He just needed to remind everyone of his loyalty and patriotism.

Making the last match India/Pakistan makes the film about India and Pakistan and takes focus away from the main point IMHO.

It's Ironic, Aditya Chopra earlier didn't want issue with Pakistan by having final match in CDI, while he himself wrote the story of ETT, which got banned in Pakistan.

SRK is damn lucky .Even for Baazigar when Salman was offered the movie the character was suppose to be completely negative and there was no mother angle .
Talking about this incident, Salman says, "I had refused Baazigar. When Abbas-Mustan came to me with the script, I asked my dad for his inputs. He felt that since it's a story of a negative character they should add an angle of the mother in it. They didn't agree. When I turned down the film, they went to Shah Rukh and then they added the mother angle! But I don't regret it at all."

Every Actor has rejected films which have become Huge hits further... so what's so big deal if Salman didn't wanted 2 do CDI?
