Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Josh is still considered as one of the favourite films of all time by some. However, before the making of the film, director Mansoor Khan had to suffer a lot while casting the film. Reportedly, Aamir Khan wanted to play SRK’s role Max in the film, but Mansoor chose him for Rahul played by Chandrachur Singh.
Hence, Aamir walked out of the film. But do you know that SRK’s most popular co-star was first approached for the role of his sister which was played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan?
Yes, reportedly, Kajol was first approached for the role Shirley but she refused to play it. Mansoor Khan quoted PTI, “When I met Kajol to play Shah Rukh’s sister she walked away. I asked her if she is doing the film she said I want to play Max. So it was such an enigmatic character.”
Well, Josh changed the image of Shah Rukh Khan in the industry. However, was Kajol’s reason valid for the rejection of Josh? Do let us know…
