Notably, at that time, Shah Rukh Khan was hosting the Kaun Banega Crorepati show on television. He disclosed his decision during the World Government Summit 2024 in Dubai. Here is more about SRK Reveals Why He Said No to Slumdog Millionaire Role.
Yes, Slumdog [Millionaire] was there, now that you mention it. And I spend a lot of time with Mr. Boyle (Danny Boyle). He’s very sweet. But I was doing Kaun Banega Crorepati on television, successfully at that time. And I just felt in the story that was being told, the guy who was hosting was very mean, in the story that was being told.”
SRK said,
Explaining why he said no to the role that ultimately landed with Anil Kapoor,
I was cheating and being dishonest as the host (in the movie). So I just found that it’s very strange that I’m being a host (on KBC) and I’m cheating in the film. So I explained to Mr Boyle (Danny Boyle) that I wouldn’t like to do it, please, and there are way better actors than me. And I think Mr Anil Kapoor did it and he was fantastic as the host.”

I know lots of lovely people from the West, from the English film industry, from the American film industry, but nobody has offered me any work.

So, really, I’ve never been offered a film in Hollywood or England.”
