Do you know Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer Baazigar had different climax? Abbas-Mustan spill the beans
Baazigar is one of the most iconic action thrillers produced in Hindi cinema. The 1993 film not only launched Shah Rukh Khan into the mainstream cinema but went on to give him the much-needed acclaim for his terrific portrayal of antagonist in the film. Directed by Abbas-Mustan, the movie also starred Kajol and Shilpa Shetty. But did you know that Baazigar had a different ending? Abbas-Mustan, the director duo, recently spilled the beans about the different climax they had in mind for the SRK starrer. Abbas-Mustan had a different ending planned for Baazigar In a recent podcast with YouTuber Lucky Bisht, the duo shared a shocking detail about how they had initially planned a different climax for Baazigar. They revealed that in the first draft, SRK's character, Ajay/Vicky, was initially conceived as an out-and-out negative character with a tough childhood. In the first version, his father was a drunkard, and he aspired to become extremely rich. SRK's character then decides to get into a relationship with Madan Chopra's daughters while killing one of them, Seema Chopra. However, to everyone's surprise, originally, the directors wanted Kajol as Priya Chopra, to kill Shah Rukh Khan's character after learning about his intention of taking over her father's empire. The ending was eventually scrapped off and a new draft was put in place. In the final version, SRK's character was killed by Madan Chopra with a rod. Abbas-Mustan didn't think Kajol's character killing SRK would have worked In the same podcast, Abbas-Mustan spoke about why they decided to rewrite the script of Baazigar. The director duo shared that the 1993 film wouldn't have worked without heart and emotions. They rewrote the script while giving a tragic backstory to SRK's character, who experiences his father's murder, a wronged mother, and the demise of his little sister. Talking about Shah Rukh Khan being cast in a negative role, Abbas-Mustan further shared that they believed his character was a "hero". The director duo added that there was a motive behind his actions. About Baazigar Produced under the banner of Venus Movies, Baazigar starred Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role, Ajay Sharma, and Vicky Malhotra. SRK was paired opposite Kajol and Shilpa Shetty in the movie. The 1993 film also featured actors like Raakhee, Dalip Tahil, and Johnny Lever. Baazigar was loosely based on Ira Levin's 1953 novel A Kiss Before Dying.

'Shah Rukh Khan drank village chaas without hesitation,' says Makarand Deshpande as recalls Swades shoot and SRK's generosity
Makarand Deshpande has always been an intense actor and recently opened up about the movie which he did with Shah Rukh Khan , Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Swades'. He recalled some behind-the-scenes incidents which made it very memorable for him in particular. Deshpande reflected on SRK's humility, creative involvement, and the emotional warmth that defined their reunion after 13 years. SRK's grounded gesture: He drank chaas without hesitation Deshpande reminisced while appearing on the Cyrus Says podcast when offered super star SRK a glass of buttermilk freshly fetched from a local village during the shooting of Yun Hi Chala Chal. SRK, despite being a star, would not refuse such an offering, and that was the moment when Deshpande truly believed to capture his down-to-earth nature. As said in the interview, SRK drank it 'bina kisi jhijak ke,' without flinching or fuss. Shah Rukh Khan took charge behind the scenes During the filming of the road-trip song, Deshpande described how SRK took on multiple responsibilities—driving the caravan, coordinating with the crew via walkie-talkie, and even helping choreograph moments. Deshpande jokingly called himself the 'brat' on set, enjoying the ride while SRK handled the logistics. He added that the idea for his hair movement during Kailash Kher's alaap came directly from SRK, who was invested in even the smallest creative details. A reunion after 13 years—and SRK remembered everything As reported by Indian Express, Deshpande was surprised by how much SRK remembered about his theatre work and indie film 'Danav,' despite not being in touch for over a decade. The actor said it felt like three people from different worlds, him from theatre, SRK from superstardom, and Gowariker fresh off 'Lagaan' coming together in harmony. SRK's cameo for Deshpande's indie film came with no price Deshpande also shared that when he requested SRK to appear in a close-up for his indie film 'Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu,' the actor did not charge a fee. Instead, SRK told him to send his cameraman and offered his own car and camera for the shoot. As said in the podcast, SRK told him, 'You don't need to spend money. Just send your cameraman, I'll get the unit.'

Made for Rs 4 crore, this was a hit film where the hero turned villain, earned 6 times its budget, actors are..., movie name was...
In a surprising twist, Baazigar directors Abbas-Mustan have revealed that the cult classic's initial script had a very different climax; Kajol's character was meant to kill Shah Rukh Khan's Ajay. Yes, the same SRK who turned anti-heroism into Bollywood gold was originally written off by his co-star. 'We didn't want to show Shah Rukh as a villain. He was a hero seeking justice,' the director duo recently shared, opening up about how the now-iconic character of Ajay Sharma evolved from a full-blown villain into a more layered, emotionally charged anti-hero. What made Baazigar such a bold film in the '90s? Released in 1993, Baazigar was a massive risk for its makers and for SRK. While most male stars of the time played romantic leads and family-friendly heroes, SRK turned the tide with a role that was dark, manipulative, and even murderous. He plays a man seeking revenge against a corrupt businessman by targeting his daughters, one he kills, and the other he falls for. But originally, the ending was darker. According to Abbas-Mustan, Shilpa Shetty wasn't the only one meant to die. The twist? Kajol was supposed to discover the truth and kill SRK's character. Why was the ending changed? The filmmakers feared that making Shah Rukh Khan's character purely negative would alienate audiences. So they gave him a painful backstory: an abusive father, a helpless mother, and a burning desire for revenge. This made him more human, even if his actions remained morally questionable. 'We needed the audience to feel for him, to see where he was coming from.' That tweak turned Baazigar from just another thriller into a genre-defining film that launched SRK's superstardom and changed Bollywood's hero template forever. How did the risk pay off? Made on a modest budget of Rs 2 crore, Baazigar went on to collect Rs 14 crore at the box office, huge numbers for the time. It also opened the door for morally grey protagonists in mainstream Hindi cinema. And most importantly, it gave us one of SRK's most memorable performances.
