Shah Rukh Khan made his Bollywood debut with Deewana (1992), and just a year later, his career received a major boost with Baazigar (1993). SRK played an anti-hero in the thriller, a rarity at the time. In fact, several actors had turned down the role as it was considered too unconventional, but Shah Rukh took up the challenge, and the rest is history. However, this decision also led to some uncomfortable developments in the industry. Mayank Shekhar, in his Mid-Day column, revealed one such episode. Mayank Shekhar had a conversation with Gulshan Grover, nicknamed Bad Man, who is known for playing villains. The veteran actor is once again in the limelight because of the release of Amazon Prime Video’s acclaimed web series, Matka King, in which he plays a negative character. While praising his Matka King act, Mayank Shekhar informed the readers that Gulshan Grover once told him that in the early 90s, he was shooting an action scene with stunt-director Veeru Devgan at Filmistan Studio...
