Okay I'm talking about movie choices…usually many stars are given heaps of movies which they don't do. And eventually someone better does it or the opposite…

Did you know?

Shahrukh was given the opportunity to do Lagaan

Movies Kareena didn't do: Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Dostana

Priyanka didn't do Umrao Jaan

Sonam was given the opportunity to act in Kites…

Do you know other stars who didn't do movies they were given. These are few that I can think of…

Kal hon na ho & KANK, were written with kajol in mind, but she said no.

Kareena was later offered Kal Ho Naa ho, which she refused due to price.


Ash was offered Koi Mil Gaya & Krish, which she refused.

As was the first choice for Dostana which she refused.

I believe when SLB made devdas ther was musical chairs. Ajay Devgan was offered Chunilal which he said no to, I heard even Kajol was approached for one of the roles which she said no to.

Hrithik was offered main hoon na, as SRK's brothers role, which he refused.

VO was offered Hum Tun & the dunbo he was then said no to it.

John was offered Bobby Deol's role in JBJ, which he politely refused & rightly so.

SLB wrote Khamoshi for Madhuri dixit but she refused. Then he offered her HDDCS which she refused again. Finally she did Devdas with him where Aishwarya stole her thunder.

Urmila and Juhi both refused Karishma's role in DTPH for which latter got National Award for best supporting actor-female.

Twinkle Khanna, Raveena Tandon, Tabu refused Tina's role in KKHH which is when KJo went for a relatively new girl Rani Mukherjee and the rest they say is history.

Dharmendra, Dev Anand and couple of others refused Zanjeer. The film turned Mr. Bachchan into a overnight star.

Aamir Khan refused Darr because Yash Chopra didn't give a joint narration to him and Sunny Deol. After the film's release Sunny Deol was upset as the last 20 mins of movie was drastically edited and changed which Aamir Khan suspected from the beginning. SRK of course became a star.

Salman Khan refused Chak De India.

Sridevi refused Baazigar as she wanted to do a double role in it and Madhuri Dixit refused it because she didn't want to share screen space with a new actor Kajol.

No Manali. Aishwarya Rai stole her thunder for sure. Madhuri was so sad when she wasn't even invited for the promotions in US.
It is known as Ash-SRK's film and Madhuri was supporting actor.
