Ajay Devgn’s missed superhits 

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn has an impressive filmography in his three-decade career. However, he turned down many blockbuster movies and opportunities. Take a look here:  

Karan Arjun (ZEE5) 

The duo of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in this action drama was loved by fans and critics. According to some reports, Salman’s character (Karan) was initially offered to Ajay.

Darr (Prime Video)  

Yash Chopra’s psychological thriller became a significant part of Shah Rukh Khan’s early career days. However, Ajay Devgn was the first choice for the filmmaker.  

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Netflix)  

Ajay Devgn turned down this blockbuster movie that still remains a classic 'love triangle' romance. The role was later offered to Shah Rukh Khan, and became a fan-favourite character.  

Bajirao Mastani (Prime Video)  

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period romance was offered to Ajay Devgn but he rejected it due to conflicts of interest. The blockbuster movie proved to be a turning point for Ranveer Singh.  

Padmaavat (Prime Video)  

Ajay Devgn was also offered a prominent role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. However, after his rejection, it went to Shahid Kapoor, who aced it with his craft.
