This article throws light on the early career of Shahrukh, the success of 'Darr' and the interesting stories related to it.

Shahrukh Khan and 'Darr': A unique story of the king of Bollywood


Shahrukh's journey begins

Shahrukh Khan started his film career with the film 'Deewana' released in 1992. Audiences loved his supporting role in this film. After this, his acting in films like 'King Uncle' and 'Baazigar' made him popular among audiences. Especially 'Baazigar' (1993) made him an overnight star, in which he played a negative character. But the real magic was shown in the film 'Darr' released in 1993, which was made by famous director Yash Chopra. This film proved to be a blockbuster at the box office and became the turning point of Shahrukh's career.


The story of 'Fear' and its success

'Darr' was a psychological thriller film in which Sunny Deol played the lead role while Shahrukh Khan played the negative character of a passionate lover named Rahul Mehra. Juhi Chawla also played an important role in this film. Even though Shahrukh's character was negative but his beautiful acting left a deep mark in the hearts of the audience. His famous dialogue "I Love You KKK-Kiran" is still on people's lips. The success of the film not only made Shahrukh a star but also laid a strong foundation for him in Bollywood.


Interesting story of casting

The surprising thing is that Shahrukh Khan did not like Rahul Mehra's character in 'Darr' at first. This character was first offered to the famous 90s actor Rahul Roy. Rahul had revealed in 'The Kapil Sharma Show' that this character was written for him and he also got an offer for the film. But due to some personal reasons he refused to do the film. After this, Shahrukh got the opportunity and he played it so beautifully that he got saved. Rahul also said that he still regrets this decision.


Before Rahul Roy, this role was offered to Salman Khan and Aamir Khan as well. But both the superstars rejected it because it was a negative role. Salman and Aamir wanted to maintain their positive image at that time, so they did not take this risk. Shahrukh grabbed this opportunity with both hands and made it a milestone in his career.


The rise and fall of Rahul Roy

Although today very few people remember Rahul Roy, but there was a time when he was a shining star of Bollywood. His film 'Aashiqui' released in 1990 made him a superstar overnight. The songs of this romantic-musical film and his innocence made the audience crazy. After the success of 'Aashiqui' Rahul had a line of films. There came a time when he had signed 47 films in just 11 days. But most of his subsequent films flopped and slowly he got away from the film industry. Saying no to 'Darr' was one such decision in his career, which he always regretted.


Shahrukh's stardom and 'Darr's' contribution

The success of 'Darr' gave Shahrukh Khan a different identity in Bollywood. After this film he worked in many romantic and action films like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and recently 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan'. Today he is one of the biggest superstars of Bollywood and his popularity has spread across the country and abroad. 'Darr' not only proved his acting capabilities but also showed that he can play any character perfectly.


conclusion

Shahrukh Khan's journey from 'Deewana' to 'Darr' and then becoming the badshah of Bollywood is an inspiring story. Even though his negative character in 'Darr' was rejected by many big stars, but Shahrukh accepted it and made his talent accepted. Rahul Roy's regret, Salman and Aamir's rejection, and Shahrukh's hard work - all this makes the story of 'Darr' even more interesting. Whatever position Shahrukh is in today, the contribution of 'Darr' is very important in it. This film was not only the foundation of his career but is also a memorable chapter in the history of Bollywood.
