Shah Rukh Khan, who was initially approached to play the lead role in \u201cMunnabhai MBBS,\u201d says he couldn\u2019t have done it better than Sanjay Dutt. \u2013 @siliconeer #siliconeer #Bollywood @Bollywood #shahrukhkhan #SRK #MunnabhaiMBBS @IamSRK @SanjayDutt<\/p>\n

Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra had offered \u201cMunnabhai\u201d to Shah Rukh Khan but he rejected it apparently due to health issues and the project eventually went to Sanjay Dutt.<\/p>\n

The role of a lovable goon in the Rajkumar Hirani-directed movie turned out to be a turning point in Dutt\u2019s movie career.<\/p>\n

When asked if he regrets not doing the film, Shah Rukh said, \u201cI think every film is written in an actor\u2019s destiny. I don\u2019t think I would have done it as well as Sanjay Dutt has. I think he was fantastic in the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the launch of Bone Marrow Transplant and Birthing Center, named after his mother, at a super specialty hospital in Mumbai, March 17.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Indian cinema doctors are treated like gods. they are the last hope and this part is shown in the films. Today young filmmakers do a lot of research in a way to pass on some message or information about anything related to it (health and disease),\u201d SRK said on role of cinema in creating awareness about diseases.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old actor, who in his over two-decade-long career has suffered several injuries, said one should go for regular health check-ups for the sake of one\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a knee injury during a dance sequence. I am not a surgery junkie, I have had nine or ten surgeries… I still have to take my stitches off. We all should get rid of ailments and go for regular check ups. We don\u2019t do it but we should for our family and kids.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
