Did you know Baazigar's original ending had Kajol kill Shah Rukh Khan? Abbas-Mustan calls SRK's character 'out-and-out negative'
Baazigar, a thriller, marked a turning point for Shah Rukh Khan. Directors Abbas-Mustan revealed the original script's darker elements. The initial plot involved a more negative character and a different ending. Kajol's character was to deliver justice by killing Shah Rukh Khan's character. The directors later shifted the focus to emotional depth. Baazigar was a turning point in Shah Rukh Khan 's career and in Bollywood storytelling. The 1993 thriller dared to cast SRK as a morally complex anti-hero at a time when clean-cut heroes dominated the silver screen. Now, decades later, the film's directors Abbas-Mustan, in an interview with Lucky Bisht, have revealed that the original script was even bolder—with a darker plot and a completely different ending that had Kajol's character delivering justice by killing SRK's. A Risky Move for Its Time Abbas-Mustan admitted that Baazigar's concept was quite unconventional for its time. While many saw Shah Rukh Khan's character as a villain, the directors always viewed him as the film's hero. Mustan explained that although the character had a dark side, his actions were driven by a deeper motive. According to them, when a negative character is given emotional depth or a justifiable reason for their behavior, the audience is more likely to empathize with them — which is exactly what they aimed for with SRK's role. The Original Ending Mustan also revealed that the original draft of Baazigar was significantly darker than the final version. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo In that version, Shah Rukh Khan's character was portrayed as entirely negative—shaped by a traumatic childhood involving an abusive, alcoholic father. Driven by a desire to become rich, he manipulates his way into relationships with both daughters of a wealthy businessman, ultimately killing one of them to gain control over the family's fortune. The twist in that early draft? The second daughter discovers his true intentions and ends up killing him, bringing the story full circle with her act of justice. From Thriller to Emotional Drama Mustan further shared that while the original draft leaned heavily into a dark, thriller tone, they later drew inspiration from iconic filmmakers like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra, who emphasized emotional storytelling. Realizing that the film needed a deeper emotional core to resonate with audiences, they reworked the script to give Shah Rukh Khan's character a strong backstory. This included his bond with his mother, the trauma of his father's death, and the loss of his younger sister. Mustan revealed they approached the producer to explain the shift in the storyline and asked for additional time to craft a more emotionally engaging screenplay. In his words, it was the emotional depth—and not just the suspense—that became Baazigar's most crucial element. Baazigar follows Shah Rukh's character as he seeks revenge against businessman Madan Chopra for ruining his family. Posing under a false identity, he dates Chopra's daughters, kills one, and later falls for the other. The film ends with Ajay's death in a violent confrontation.

Original Baazigar script had Kajol's character kill Shah Rukh Khan, reveal Abbas-Mustan: ‘He was an out-and-out negative character'
Shah Rukh Khan's Baazigar was a trailblazing film of its time. At a time when lead actors were focused on playing massy, messiah-like characters, Shah Rukh broke the mould by portraying a cold-blooded killer in Baazigar. In a recent interaction, the film's directors Abbas-Mastan spoke about how they came up with the concept of the film. Admitting that Baazigar's concept was new for that era, Abbas-Mustan shared that although the world saw Shah Rukh's character as a negative one, they viewed him as the hero. Mustan Burmawalla said, 'It was a new concept at that time. We thought of Shah Rukh's character as a hero; he was negative, but he was our hero, and also, you have to understand why he did what he did in the film. For instance, if some character is doing something negative, but in the background he has some good qualities or there is a reason for him to turn negative, then if his character turns negative, that is also okay.' He also revealed that the first draft of the film was entirely different, in which the female lead would eventually kill Shah Rukh's character. He said, 'In the first draft of the film, the hero was an out-and-out negative character who saw a tough childhood as his father would be a drunk, and he would beat his mother, and the kid would grow up wishing that he would become rich one day. After growing up, the character decides to get into a relationship with both daughters of a millionaire and eventually kill one of the daughters to take over the millionaire's empire. Later, the second girl gets to know about the character's intention and kills him. This was the first draft of the film.' Later, he admitted that they were inspired by movies of filmmakers like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra and realised that the film wouldn't work without emotions. That's when they decided to give a strong backstory to Shah Rukh's character, which explored his emotional past with his mother, his father's death and his little sister. He said, 'We realised that the film would not work without emotions, and the biggest emotion is the mother and father's.' Mustan shared that he informed the producer about the change in the storyline to incorporate an emotional arc and took time from him to work on the film's new version. 'Screenplay was the most important aspect of Baazigar.' Baazigar follows the story of Shah Rukh Khan's character, Ajay Sharma, who seeks revenge against business tycoon Madan Chopra for destroying his family. As part of his plan, he seduces Chopra's daughters, murders one, and, after falling for the other, dies in a violent confrontation.
