When Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan rejected movie that was a disaster at the box office
It is a dream to see Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan in a movie together. We have seen SRK and Salman and Salman and Aamir on screen together. But the three Khans have never shared screen space. But did you know, during the early 2000s, the superstars were offered a movie together? All three Khans rejected the movie, which ended up becoming a big flop at the box office.
The movie we are talking about is Om Jai Jagdish. Actor Anupam Kher made his directorial debut with the Hindi drama. As per the reports, initially, Yash Raj Films (YRF) was planning to produce the movie. However, the production house wanted Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan in the lead roles. But due to scheduling issues, Khan rejected the movie. The actresses they wanted were Rani Mukerji, Kajol and Preity Zinta. When Anupam was on the verge of giving up, Vashu Bhagnani stepped in to produce the movie.
Om Jai Jagdish then had a new cast: Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Mahima Chaudhry, Urmila Matondkar, and Tara Sharma. The movie was made with a budget of Rs 13 crore. However, it didn’t earn well at the box office. As per several entertainment news reports, Anupam Kher’s movie made a collection of Rs 8.56 crore in India and Rs 3.74 crore worldwide. Thus, becoming a disaster at the box office. It was the only film Anupam directed.

Further in this entertainment news, the only time we saw Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan together was during the Ambani pre-wedding ceremony this year. The three Khans graced the stage and danced together to RRR song Naatu Naatu. We can only hope that someday they will agree on a movie and will feature together. Last year, Salman and SRK appeared on screen together in YRF’s Pathaan and Tiger 3. The duo will reunite for Tiger vs. Pathaan. So far, there is no update on the same.
