FAQs

Apart from the Jawan actor, there were others who rejected DDLJ.

Before SRK, even Saif Ali Khan was considered for the film, which he rejected due to date issues.
Actors who rejected DDLJ. Reportedly after Aditya Chopra came up with a revised draft of the script, he started approaching stars to cast. Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Saif Ali Khan were offered the role of Raj Malhotra, but they rejected the film for different reasons.
Aditya approached Shah Rukh Khan to play the role of Raj. Shah Rukh was initially not interested because of the romantic nature of the role, having had success playing villainous roles. Aditya then asked Saif Ali Khan to play the lead role because he was having problems persuading Shah Rukh to do it.
The iconic film 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' was initially planned with Tom Cruise as the lead actor before Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were cast.
