Shah Rukh Khan, who became an overnight star with Yashraj’s Darr, surely owes one to Aamir Khan. Reason? Well, the Lagaan actor was the first choice for SRK’s role in Darr and the songs too were recorded keeping Aamir in mind. But Aamir believed the climax would make him look really weak and thus opted out.
Shah Rukh was then roped in and the rest, as they say, is history.
