Not Shah Rukh, Aditya wanted to make this Hollywood actor Raj in ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, Yash Chopra’s decision changed everything

Talking about the biggest films of Shah Rukh Khan’s career, his blockbuster film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ will come on top. The identity of Shah Rukh Khan’s Raj is still etched in the minds of his fans. Then what to say about Simran Kajol. But you know Shah Rukh Khan was not the first choice for this DDLJ corporate hero. Didn’t get a big blow. That’s perfect. It is said that before Shah Rukh Khan, a Bollywood star was approached for this role. Not only this, the name of a Hollywood star was also in the mind of Aditya Chopra, the director of the film.

Regarding ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, it is said that Aditya Chopra first approached Saif Ali Khan for this film. But Saif Ali Khan refused to do so in this role due to some reasons. After this Aditya Chopra thought why not make this film with Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. Of course Tom Cruise was the big superstar of that time. Then this unique connection is seen in the film.

But when he discussed this code with father Yash Chopra, he did not like it. Chopra Yash has been a master at crafting love stories. He was also well aware of the pulse of the Indian audience. That’s why he didn’t say yes to Tom Cruise’s name. This is how Shah Rukh Khan was enlisted for the film. After this the film became one of the most opposite films of Bollywood. This is called experience.
