Hrithik Roshan: Blockbusters he rejected

Bang Bang 2: Neither Hrithik nor Katrina in the sequel

The official remake of the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz starrer, Knight And Day, Siddharth Anand's high-voltage action thriller, Bang Bang, released in 2014. Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif were the leading actors of the film. However, news is that neither Hrithik nor Katrina will return in the film’s sequel, which is currently in the pre-production stage. Jacqueline Fernandez has reportedly replaced Kat and the makers are currently scouting for a villain.

While Hrithik has been ousted from the sequel, he is all geared up for his Hollywood debut. Take a look...

The Greek God of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan has impressed one and all with his acting, dance and stunts in his films. Looks like the star is now all set to enter Hollywood. The actor had declined some Hollywood projects, including Pink Panther 2, earlier. But at an event held by TV channel, he said, "Yes, I have a Hollywood project this year." Though he refused to reveal more about the film, we are sure he will showcase some power-packed action.

We take a look at few films we wish Hrithik hadn't turned down.

Keeping in mind the number of blockbusters in his kitty, one assumes that Hrithik Roshan can spot a blockbuster script at one glance. But a closer look suggests that just like many other Bollywood actors, Hrithik too has rejected a number of scripts which later emerged as the biggest blockbusters of all times.

Shuddhi: Much has been said and written about Karan Johar's most-awaited project, Shuddhi. Social media went abuzz with news of Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan being a part of the project. A number of theories started floating in the media about Hrithik's sudden exit from the film. While a section of media reported that Hrithik had to opt out because of health reasons, another section revealed that, Hrithik pulled out of the film as he was not happy with the profit-sharing deal between him and filmmaker Karan Johar.

Dil Chahta Hai: Farhan Akhtar originally wrote the movie keeping in mind Hrithik as Sidhharth. After Hrithik turned down the role, it went to Abhishek Bachchan. But Abhishek too turned down the offer. After Abhishek, the role went to Aamir and Farhan Akhtar swapped the roles of Akhay Khanna and Aamir Khan. Hrithik and Farhan later came together in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

Bunty Aur Babli: As per a report in IMDB, Hrithik Roshan was approached for the role of Bunty. Considering his previous release Mujhse Dosti Karoge with Yash Raj Productions, which fell flat at the box office, Hrithik decided to opt out of this movie. The role later went to Abhishek Bachchan. Abhishek was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

Rang De Basanti: Another blockbuster which Hrithik Roshan had turned down was Aamir Khan-starrer Rang De Basanti. The exact reason behind him turning down the role remains unknown, but a section of media reported that Hrithik wanted to play the role of DJ. But Aamir had already been signed for the project and thus Hrithik backed out.

Swades: Before starring in Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha Akbar, Hrithik had been offered the role of 'Mohan Bhargava' inSwades. Shah Rukh Khan won a number of awards for his performance in the movie.

Main Hoon Na: Another film where Hrithik Roshan had the chance to play Shah Rukh Khan's brother was Main Hoon Na. Hrithik was offered the role of Laxman which later went to Zayed Khan. Apparently, Hrithik turned down the offer due to lack of content and depth in the character.
