Dev Anand Rejects Farahs Proposal
Evergreen actor Dev Anand must be one of the very few actors to have turned down a role in Shah Rukh Khan’s next production, Om Shanti Om, directed by Farah Khan. 
According to an industry source, “Farah was keen to take Dev Anand for a role in OSO as other industry stalwarts like Subhash Ghai, Rishi Kapoor and Mithun Chakroborty have played themselves in the film.
They have all been a part of the (flashback) ’70s half of the movie. But Dev saab politely refused saying he has never done a special appearance before and has always done main leads.”
Dev Anand, when contacted, says, “Farah Khan called me and said she was inviting stars to play themselves as a part of a film sequence. I had to decline the offer, as I have never played such a role before.
I don’t want to break my tradition by doing guest appearances. I have always functioned alone. I told her to give my good wishes to Shah Rukh. I wished them all the best and hope they make a great film.”
