Sooraj Barjatya Considered Shah Rukh Khan for Hum Saath-Saath Hain
In a new interview with an Indian media outlet, veteran filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya shared that he considered Shah Rukh Khan for the role of the youngest brother in ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain’ and was in talks with the megastar, however, the character was eventually played by Saif Ali Khan.
Speaking about his discussions with SRK, the veteran said, “Many years ago, for Hum Saath Saath Hain… We were talking about Saif’s role. But this was a long time ago.”
Barjatya also recalled Saif being extremely ‘nervous’ about the project as his films weren’t performing well at that time. “When films don’t work, actors are a little (shaken), so he would be nervous. He had such a big part for the first time, that too opposite such big actors,” he revealed and added that Saif’s nervousness affected his performance and that energy was especially evident in the song ‘Suno Ji Dulhan’.
