Salman Khan rejected the role in the iconic film *Baazigar*, which later became a blockbuster for Shah Rukh Khan. Initially, the film’s directors, Abbas-Mustan, approached several actors, including Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn, before finalizing Shah Rukh Khan for the lead role of Ajay Sharma/Vicky Malhotra. Both Salman and Anil rejected the film due to concerns about the character’s dark and murderous nature, deeming the role too negative for their image.
