ABOUT THIS BOOK

Did Shah Rukh Khan reject Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? Did Aamir Khan audition for Qayamat
Se Qayamat Tak? Was Salman Khan’s voice dubbed by another in Maine Pyar Kiya? Did Salman’s
and Aamir’s film rejections give Shah Rukh Bollywood on a platter?
KHANtastic answers all these questions. Destiny binds together this charismatic trio—Salman,
Shah Rukh and Aamir. They not only started their journey in Bollywood around the same time
but also share vestiges of Pashtun descent in their bloodline. Over time, their tempestuous rivalry turned into friendship as they became an indomitable triumvirate. Three different, yet magnetic personalities—they form the three points of the invisible Bandra Triangle in Mumbai as their brotherhood reigns permanently over a capricious Bollywood.
