Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra says that Shah Rukh Khan had always been his first choice for many of his films, be it 3 Idiots, 'Munnabhai MBBS', or the yet-to-be released Ferrari Ki Sawari. "Shah Rukh was offered '3 Idiots', 'Ferrari Ki Sawari', 'Munnabhai' and other films. He's our first
guy - we visit him first and if he says no, then we move on," Chopra told reporters here.
Shah Rukh had backed out of 'Munnabhai MBBS' on account of back trouble and will not do '3 Idiots' as a result of date issues.
If Chopra had his way, SRK would has been the Munnabhai of 'Munnabhai MBBS' and Sanjay Dutt would have played the small role of Zaheer, a cancer patient.
"Today, I BELIEVE Sanjay is ideal as Munna and same way Sharman fits the central role in 'Ferrari Ki Sawari'. It's all about writing and getting the best actor for the fitting role, that is difficult," Chopra said.
