Aamir Khan Rejected Shah Rukh's Swades, Called Script 'Boring'

  • Aamir Khan revealed he rejected Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades, initially titled Kaveri Amma, finding the script "very boring" during a three-hour narration.
  • The rejection came despite Aamir and Gowariker's recent success with the Oscar-nominated film Lagaan.
  • Aamir admitted he still hasn't watched the finished film Swades, which later starred Shah Rukh Khan and received critical acclaim.
  • He acknowledged that Shah Rukh Khan's performance in Swades was widely appreciated by audiences.
  • Swades, released in 2004, won two National Awards and is considered one of Shah Rukh Khan's most celebrated performances.

Why It Matters: Aamir Khan found the Swades script boring, rejected it, and hasn't watched Shah Rukh Khan's acclaimed film.
