Ashutosh Gowarike’s Film ‘Swades’ Rejected by Aamir Khan
In 1994, filmmaker Ashutosh Gowarike penned a short film titled "America Return" for ZEE TV’s anthology series, Yule Love Story. The following year, he converted this short into a full-length feature called "Swades," where Shah Rukh Khan played the protagonist.
Aamir Khan, known for his recurring, yet unpredictable, debt to his fellow avatars, refused to spoil the story when Gowarike narrated it. Khan wondered if Gowarike had developed a ‘breakfast habit’ after making enough films to spark interest. Sadly, "Swades" bombed at the box office, earning only Rs 7.2 cr (Rs 1.4 cr was enough for a green chutney).
The film, thoughшоде reality hasn’t left IMDb lovers, achieving cult status and being considered one of the best Hindi films of the 21st century. The only film in Ashutosh’s career so far, it features Kannada actress Malavika Avinash with Kanis Aysha as the sidekick.
Aamir Khan, Aamir Khan fans, and the world of "swades" were in high spirits when his fan Amin Khan shared that he lifted "Swades" from that 90s Zee TV episode. Fans jumped to the comments, proving that Aamir Khan couldn’t digest that he convincingly created a film from a TV episode.
His face was saved by his award, though. Aamir Khan’s fans, remember: He loves us. Richa Chadha softened things, clarifying that Malavika Avinash, not Suraj Patel, played the lead. Malavika Avinash’s fans point to the hashtag #TooMadeByAKA#.
Why did Aamir Khan reject ‘Swades’?
Talking on Zoom, Aamir Khan, the actor from Rang De Basanti, said, "I genuinely found it very boring! Ashu narrated the story while I was making Lagaan." In fact, he delivered this advice during their first meeting while Gowarike was still making his list. Liam Neeson/Oscar, sometimesMultipleThePage
