Really she said no because SRK opted out? That's stupid! i guess she had no faith in the script she was counting on SRK's stardom.

Shahrukh made a huge mistake by rejecting Shankar's Robot to make Ra.One.
It's foolish that despite knowing Shankar's terrific box office record, he chose to make a film with Anubhav Sinha.

Wow that's some fangasm here. 

1. Lagaan was first narrated to Aamir only, he rejected it then it went to everyone in the industry including Sunny Deol and finally it came back to Aamir.


2. Baazigar was offered to Ajay and Salman. The mother revenge angle was something suggested by Salim Khan father of Salman. Abbas Mastaan took the suggestion and made it with SRK. 


3. There was no Lageraho Munna Bhai after Munna Bhai MBBS. Aamir really liked Raju Hirani's MBBS and they wanted to work on a film and together they developed an idea. Raju Hirani felt this idea worked well with Munna Bhai in it rather than an independent film with Aamir and thus the sequel was born. 

4. Talaash was offered to Salman.

Abhishek Bachchan:
Lagaan - yes even he was given a narration

Dil Chahtha Hai

All Rakesh Omprakash Mehra's film first choice 

Company

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na 

... its a big list will keep updating it as soon as I remember πŸ˜›. Most of those films Abhishek rejected not because he didn't like the scripts but because he felt he might not be suitable and ruin the part 



Saif Ali Khan

Bluffmaster - he was approached for Riteish Deshmukh role which was to be initially done by Abhishek. Sanjay Dutt was to originally play the role played by Abhishek eventually.

Thank God SRK didnt do all those movies! He would have ruined Rancho, DJ, Munna bhai and Bhuvan's character with his overacting lol...This shows that whatever happens happens for good.  😊. This also shows that he has no taste in cinema.

Shahrukh was offered Madhavan's role in RDB. I cant even imagine him as Rancho with Maddy and Sharman. Aamir has such great friendship chemo with them onscreen πŸ˜†.
Edit
Saw in this forum that Aamir rejected BV ( coming Biru movie). I want him to work with Anurag Basu.
