In the 1980s and ’90s, Mukesh Khanna played two memorable television roles. He played Bhishma Pitamah in the iconic Indian television series Mahabharat and then the titular role in the widely popular Shaktimaan series. Recently, the veteran actor shared an untold story of a major Hollywood opportunity that came his way. Following the resounding success of Mahabharat, Khanna was approached for a Hollywood film titled Masala.
Despite the prospect of international fame, the actor ultimately did not pursue the offer, a decision he later described as a consequence of his principles. The film, a Canadian project featuring a star-studded cast, was being spearheaded by renowned casting director Madhur Jaffrey. However, Khanna’s insistence on reviewing the script before proceeding led to an impasse, and the role eventually went to Saeed Jaffrey, earning him the honor of knighthood.
