SRK says no to Ashutosh

Ashutosh offered SRK a role in a period  film with Rani Mukherji, as his screen  partner, but after Swades, SRK isn’t taking any chances.

Apparently, working with Gowariker on Swades wasn’t one of the highlights of Shah Rukh’s career, but Ashutosh asked him to forget the past and start afresh. Ashutosh also offered him incentives to make up for the experience. A source said, “Ashutosh even told Shah Rukh that they could co-produce the film and that he had no issues with Shah Rukh’s style of working on a commission basis. But even this did not evoke a favourable response.”
