Saif Ali Khan REVEALS Shah Rukh Khan offered him Main Hoon Na; says, “Farah Khan called me later and said…”

Saif Ali Khan recently shared that Shah Rukh Khan had once offered him a role in the film Main Hoon Na. He talked about this during an exclusive conversation with source when discussing his work with Shah Rukh and Red Chillies Entertainment. Saif and Shah Rukh are now working together again on the movie Kartavya, which brings them back together after more than twenty years since they last worked on Kal Ho Naa Ho. This time, the roles are different. Shah Rukh is producing the film, while Saif is the main actor.

During the interview, Saif was asked if working on projects with Shah Rukh makes them more exciting.

 He shared a story from the early 2000s. “Yes, of course. He once called me for Main Hoon Na. He said there was a great part,” he remembered.

Saif then added that Farah Khan, the film's director, later reached out to him about the project.

 â€œThen Farah called me later and said no, no, no,” he laughed.

Main Hoon Na, directed by Farah Khan, featured Shah Rukh Khan as the main lead with Sushmita Sen, Suniel Shetty, Zayed Khan and Amrita Rao.

 The film became a massive hit in 2004 and is still loved by fans today.

Speaking about Red Chillies Entertainment, Saif praised the company for supporting creative and exciting projects.

 â€œIt’s a great production. I think they take on really exciting and interesting ideas at Red Chillies. It was really cool to get that kind of offer,” he added.

Over the years, Saif and Shah Rukh have shown great chemistry on screen, especially in Kal Ho Naa Ho, where their roles as Rohit and Aman won a lot of fans.

 Their new project, Kartavya, has already sparked a lot of interest among fans who are excited to see them work together again in a new way.

The movie is set to premiere on Netflix on May 15, 2026.
