Raveena Tandon, who is currently promoting her Disney+ Hotstar series Karmma Calling, recently shared in an interview that back in the 1990s, she had signed four films with Shah Rukh Khan but all of them ran into some or the other problem. Raveena also shared that she was offered Juhi Chawla’s part in Yash Chopra’s Darr, which also starred SRK, but she ‘stepped back’.
Calling Shah Rukh Khan a “genuinely warm, caring person,” Raveena said that at one point, they signed four films but they could never share the screen in a way they had hoped. “One film got shut because the director passed away. I didn’t do the second film because I was not happy with the costumes so I stepped back from that. We did Zamana Deewana but that also got delayed,” she recalled and then shared with Mirchi Plus that she was offered Yash Chopra’s Darr. “Darr was something that I was offered but I stepped back,” she said.
Darr was a career defining role for SRK where his anti-hero, struggling with mental health problems, is chasing after Juhi Chawla’s Kiran. In an earlier chat with ANI, Raveena had shared, “Darr had come to me first, though it was not vulgar, but earlier there were some scenes in Darr, I was not comfortable with.” Aside from Raveena, the film was also offered to Aishwarya Rai who stepped away because she had to compete at Miss World.
Raveena shared that she was also offered Rani Mukerji’s part in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and laughed that “Karan (Johar) still complains about it.” She then added with a laugh, “I am ready to do Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 2 with Shah Rukh Khan.”
In the movies, Raveena was last seen in KGF Chapter 2. She is expected to be a part of KGF 3 as well.
