One of Bollywood's most beloved patriotic films, 'Rang De Basanti', almost had Shah Rukh Khan in the role portrayed by R. Madhavan. Khan's decision to pass on the role might have changed the dynamics of the movie, but Madhavan's heartfelt performance undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the audience.

2.  3 Idiots (2009)

Aamir Khan's portrayal of Rancho in '3 Idiots' is etched into the memory of every Bollywood enthusiast. Yet, it's fascinating to consider how the narrative might have shifted if Shah Rukh Khan had accepted the role. Aamir's brilliance aside, Shah Rukh Khan's unique charm could have brought a different flavour to the character.

3. Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

In the historical romance 'Jodhaa Akbar', Hrithik Roshan mesmerised audiences as the Mughal Emperor Akbar. However, this grand epic could have had a different aura altogether if Shah Rukh Khan had agreed to play the lead. His trademark intensity might have added another layer of depth to the character of Akbar.

4. Kaho Na…Pyaar Hai (2000)

Hrithik Roshan's debut in 'Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai' marked the beginning of a new era in Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan's turning down the role paved the way for Hrithik's soaring career. The film's monumental success served as a testament to Roshan's talent and charisma.

5. Ek Tha Tiger (2012)

Salman Khan's action-packed avatar as Tiger became iconic in 'Ek Tha Tiger'. Yet, the intriguing prospect of Shah Rukh Khan as Tiger adds an intriguing layer to the imagination. Khan's ability to blend intensity with suave charm could have redefined the character dynamics in this spy thriller.

6. Munnabhai MBBS (2003)

Sanjay Dutt's endearing portrayal of a fake doctor in 'Munnabhai MBBS' is etched into Bollywood history. However, it's worth contemplating how Shah Rukh Khan might have approached this role. His versatility as an actor could have added a different dimension to Munna, making it an equally memorable performance.

7. Lagaan (2001)

Aamir Khan's 'Lagaan', a cinematic masterpiece set against the backdrop of British colonial India, almost saw Shah Rukh Khan as Bhuvan. While Aamir Khan's exceptional acting and producing skills made 'Lagaan' a global sensation, Shah Rukh Khan's presence might have added a different aura to the character, making it a different cinematic experience altogether.

While these films achieved unparalleled success with the actors who eventually starred in them, the 'what-ifs' add a layer of fascination to Bollywood's rich tapestry.
