Shah Rukh Khan, who had turned down the titular role in Munnabhai MBBS, says he couldn’t have portrayed the role better than Sanjay Dutt.
“I think that every actor is destined to do certain films. I feel I couldn’t have done it as well as Sanjay Dutt did,” said Khan.
He was speaking at the launch of the Bone Marrow Transplant and Birthing Centre of Nanavati hospital in Mumbai.
Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Munnabhai MBBS was a turning point in Dutt’s career. He played the role of a lovable goon in the film franchise.
The Raees actor also spoke about his meeting with colleague Aamir Khan on various occasions which sparked speculation that they are teaming up for a project.
“I went to his house to wish him on his birthday. We don’t talk work. We haven’t spoken on work for years... There is nothing work wise that we have discussed,” said Khan.
Khan also asserted that they used to “meet earlier too. It’s just that the media has started noticing now”.
