Just thought I'd add something.... Sunny Deol's 'Dillagi' was originally titled, 'London' and was to be directed by Gurinder Chadha. Unfortunately, Sunny was pissed off when he saw the rushes back in 1997 and fired Chadha (made himself director).

I know this, as in those days I was working on the sets of 'London' (mostly extra). Originally, 'London' was a love triangle between Sunny-Karishma-Bobby, set in London. The film was very lame, even Karishma slagged it off!

<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>Answers</span>

1. Amitabh Bachchan {Inayat Khan} Shah Rukh Khan {Altaaf} (they turned the roles down, because they saw Yash Chopra's Mohabbatein as a better opportunity )
2. Madhuri Dixit {Annie} (She basically didn't think much of Sanjay Leela Bhansali at the time, whereas Sanjay Leela Bhansali thinks she the best actress of all time)
3. Kajol {Meghna} (She would have accepted the role, but had date problems with Pyar To Hona Hi Tha at the time)
4. Aamir Khan {Rahul} (I think the reason was because Yash Chopra opted for Shah Rukh Khan later on before the film began shooting and dichted Aamir Khan)
5. Shah Rukh Khan, than Abhishek Bachchan {for the role of Bhuvan} (SRK rejected LAGAAN, because he was giving concentration to Asoka, I have no clue why Abhishek rejected a role of a life time. Apparently, Ashutosh redeemed the script a lot better and went back to Aamir Khan and the rest is history )
6. Karisma Kapoor {Shalini} ("Sunny Deol's 'Dillagi' was originally titled, 'London' and was to be directed by Gurinder Chadha. Unfortunately, Sunny was pissed off when he saw the rushes back in 1997 and fired Chadha (made himself director)...Originally, 'London' was a love triangle between Sunny-Karishma-Bobby, set in London. The film was very lame, even Karishma slagged it off! what Rahisha said)

Bonus Answers;
1. That one rule? Not to repeat the main starcast twice for any of his films. Mani Rathnam re-casted Arvind Swamy in Bombay after Roja. And he re-casted Manisha Koirala once again in Dil Se, after Bombay.
2. "Sarkar" *ing Amitabh Bachchan & Shah Rukh Khan (and this was confirmed in an article interview with Ram Gopal Verma in TimesOfIndia)

Thanks to all those who took a shot at these questions, well done to ya if got some/them right. I will try to come up with more innovative quiz(s) later on. Thanks Again!
