WHEN SHAH RUKH KHAN WAS CONFIDENT KAMAL HAASAN WOULD PLAY THE VILLAIN IN HIS MOVIE AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Yes. However, since Kamal was busy with other engagements, he turned down the offer, which was eventually played by Suniel Shetty and the film turned out to be a super-hit.

“For the role of Raghavan, I went to Kamal Haasan first. Shah Rukh Khan told me that ‘he’ll blindly do the movie as he owes me a favour. I have done Hey Ram for him and I have suffered during its shoot. I was made to sing Telugu and Tamil songs’! So he assured me he’ll do it. Hence, I went to Chennai. Kamal Haasan was very nice and he met me and showed me the rushes of the film he was then making. He took me to the office and fed me lunch. Finally, he told me he can’t do my film. He told me that he’s making a movie on Silk Rote. I remember very clearly as I wanted to find out what is Silk Route," Farah Khan was quoted as reminiscing about the film.

Now, this really is some trivia, isn't it?
