Reportedly, Aamir Khan was also supposed to be a part of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Deewangi Deewangi’ but that couldn’t happen for a valid reason.
At IFFI in 2019, Farah Khan revealed, “I wanted Aamir (Khan) in it. I wanted one shot to have the three Khans together. Aamir drove me crazy for ten days. He couldn’t make it because he was editing ‘Taare Zameen Par’”.
Imagine how fun it would have been if Aamir had been a part of the song too.
Meanwhile, celebs like Rani Mukerji, Zayed Khan, Vidya Balan, Jeetendra, Priyanka Chopra, Shilpa Shetty, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, Urmila Matondkar, Karisma Kapoor, Arbaaz Khan, Malaika Arora, Dino Morea, Amrita Arora, Juhi Chawla, Aftab Shivdasani, Tabu, Govinda, Mithun Chakraborty, Kajol, Preity Zinta, Rekha, Riteish Deshmukh, Saif Ali Khan, Bobby Deol, Salman Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, and Suniel Shetty were part of the song.
Om Shanti Om marked the debut of Deepika Padukone and ever since then there has been no looking back for the actress and she’s one of the highest-paid actresses in B-town.
