According to the reports, superstar Shah Rukh Khan was approached by Sanjay Leela Bhansali to play the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh. However, King Khan rejected the role, as he thought the movie totally revolved around Alauddin Khilji and Padmavati.

Later, when Bhansali got to know that SRK is rejecting the role because of his character, he even offered him the role of Alauddin Khilji. But King Khan again refused to accept the offer. The main reason behind King Khan’s rejection was that he was facing problems against the release of his film Raees. He was pretty concerned about his image. Fearing the consequences, he decided to reject the film altogether.

Nevertheless, Padmaavat has released and is doing great at the box office. The movie has already earned Rs. 124 Crore in five days. The trends suggest that the movie will cross Rs. 200 Crore mark pretty soon.
