Role Rewind: Salman Khan rejected ‘Baazigar’ before Shah Rukh Khan took it up; Here’s why the ‘Dabangg’ actor didn’t do it!

Abbas-Mustan had offered the movie to Salman, but that time, the character of Vicky Malhotra was seen as overwhelmingly negative. Both Salman and his father, Salim Khan, expressed their discomfort with this portrayal. They suggested incorporating a mother-like character into the narrative to provide emotional depth and soften the primary antagonist’s image. This idea aimed to create a more relatable and sympathetic character arc.
