Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, known for movies like Johnny Gaddaar, Ek Hasina Thi, Badlapur

Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, known for movies like Johnny Gaddaar, Ek Hasina Thi, Badlapur, and Andhadhun, has earned a strong reputation for his work. However, there are some films he didn’t end up making that fans still wonder how he would have handled — one of them is Abbas-Mustan’s Baazigar, the movie that turned Shah Rukh Khan into a superstar.

Known as the “King of Bollywood,” Shah Rukh Khan has given some of the most memorable performances in Indian cinema. One such performance was in the movie Baazigar, which is still regarded as one of his most iconic parts. The film’s writer, Robin Bhatt, recently revealed some intriguing details about Shah Rukh Khan’s involvement in this significant motion picture.

Counted as one of Shah Rukh Khan‘s finest films, 1993’s Baazigar remains a fan favourite to date. From the actors’ strong performances to the intense dialogues and an intense plot, the Abbas-Mustan directorial turned into a Bollywood gem. While the director duo received much acclaim for their work in the film, not many know that filmmaker Sriram Raghavan also worked on a similar script as Baazigar and even wanted to make a film on it. Known for directing films like Badlapur and Andhadhun, Raghavan, in a recent interview, recalled an anecdote from his struggling days.
