Tigmanshu Dhulia is reported to have discussed that Shah Rukh Khan rejected a role in his film “Ghamasaan,” with the director indicating the project later cast another actor. The reporting centers on the casting decision and how the part changed after Khan declined.
In the same account, the director also mentions his long-standing working relationship with Shah Rukh Khan, dating back to the time of “Dil Se.” He further refers to Khan’s collaboration in “Zero,” where Dhulia says he played Khan’s character’s father, providing context for their professional connection. Sources vary mainly in the emphasis on the casting switch versus the background of the director–actor relationship, but the core point remains the same: Khan’s reported refusal leads to a different performer taking the role.
