SRK's Midas touch benefits other stars too

Shah Rukh Khan sure has a Midas touch. Whatever he touches turns gold and whatever he discards turns gold for others!

Call it a reality or just a co-incidence, but whatever role King Khan has refused it became a gain for other actors. When he rejected Lagaan, it was Aamir Khan's gain and so was the case with many other stars like Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, or even Madhavan.

Did you know that Rajkumar Hirani's first choice for Munna Bhai was not Sanjay but SRK? He said no to Hirani and Sanjay went on to become one the biggest sensations as Munna Bhai.

For Lagaan too Ashutosh Govarikar wanted SRK, but he had some date issues and could not do the film. The role then went to Aamir, which took him close to the Oscars.

Even Danny Boyl had approached King Khan for his Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionare but SRK said no to the role and it went on to resurrect Anil's career and made him a hot property in the west.

Madhavan's role in Rang De Basanti too was initially offered to SRK and his 'no' made Maddy the star that he is.

So, shouldn't all these stars get together to say a big 'thank you' to King Khan with the golden touch!

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
