Akshay Kumar said to these movies- NO
So the career of these 2 stars got wings
Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar worked in Akshay Kumar's rejected films. Both the films were a hit at the box office and the makers made huge money.
You will be surprised to know that before Shah Rukh Khan, many actors including Akshay Kumar were also offered the film 'Baazigar' (1993). But Akshay Kumar found the lead character negative and did not want to do such a role. Because of this, he rejected the offer of the film. This movie proved to be a super hit at the box office. This film gave wings to Shahrukh's career.
Makers wanted to cast Akshay Kumar for the film 'Race' released in the year 2008. However, he refused to act in the film. After this the film went to Saif Ali Khan and then he won the hearts of the fans with his acting. Directed by Abbas-Mustan, this movie was a hit at the box office.
Farhan Akhtar did a strong acting in the film 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' released in the year 2013. The actor did an amazing transformation for his character. When the film was finally released, it broke many records of earning at the box office. This film was earlier given to Akshay Kumar, but at that time he was working in 'Once Upon Time in Mumbai Dobara'. Because of this, Akshay Kumar missed out on being a part of the movie 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'. Earlier, Farhan's films were not able to show anything special at the box office. This movie made Farhan a superstar.
Every Bollywood actor dreams of working in Hollywood films one day, but Akshay Kumar never showed such interest. According to the report, years ago, Akshay Kumar was offered a film with Dwayne Johnson i.e. Rock, but he immediately refused because he does not want to work outside the Bollywood industry.
