Aamir Khan admits Shah Rukh Khan was perfect choice for Darr, offered to him initially: 'Vo main karta toh…’
During an event, Aamir Khan admitted Shah Rukh Khan was the right choice for Yash Chopra's Darr. He revealed not doing the film even though it was offered to him initially.
Apart from being an ace actor, director and producer, Aamir Khan is also a lovely human being who often talks affectionately about his peers. In a recent interview, the PK actor revealed that Yash Chopra’s Darr was initially offered to him and not Shah Rukh Khan. But he admitted that SRK was the right choice for the character. Read on!
To honor Aamir Khan and celebrate his massive contribution to the Indian film industry, a special film festival will be hosted from March 14, 2025, to March 27, 2025. At an event announcing the same, Khan went down memory lane and shared multiple unknown anecdotes from his film career with the media. This is when he revealed that he was working on Yash Chopra’s movie Darr. However, for some reason, he had to part ways with the team.
It was then offered to Shah Rukh Khan who nailed the role of Rahul Mehra in the psychological thriller film. Speaking about SRK's performance, Aamir stated that even now he feels that whatever happened, happened for good. Backing his statement, the Ghajini actor expressed that Shah Rukh was able to tap into the emotions and the “suur” that Yash Chopra wanted to show in the film.
He added, “I think Shah Rukh was suiting that surr slightly better. Toh in retrospect mujhey laga vo main karta toh kuch aur he ho jata. (I think Shah Rukh suited the rhythm slightly better. Hence, in retrospect, I believe that if I had played that character, it would have come across as something else.)”
For the unknown, the 1993 film titled Darr: A Violent Love Story was helmed and bankrolled by Chopra under his banner, Yash Raj Films. Actors like Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla played lead characters in the movie. However, SRK’s performance as a stalker was also highly appreciated by fans and critics alike. Apart from them, actors like Annu Kapoor, Tanvi Azmi, Anupam Kher and Dalip Tahil were also seen in the thriller.
