DYK Badshah was offered Karan Johar's Lust Stories and Good Newwz?

Badshah has revealed that he was offered Lust Stories and Good Newwz. However, he rejected both the projects.

Rapper Badshah has delivered several hit Bollywood songs. Apart from film music, Badshah, who is also a music composer, has worked on independent tracks. Besides working on music, Badshah made his acting debut with Khandani Shafakhana. He was seen with Varun Sharma and Sonakshi Sinha in the film. However, it didn't do well at the box office. Before doing this movie, Badshah was offered two big projects - Lust Stories and Good Newwz, but he turned down the roles.

In Case Toh Banta Hai, Badshah revealed that he was offered a role in Karan Johar's Lust Stories. After he turned it down, the role was eventually portrayed by Vicky Kaushal. Opening up about the same, Badshah said, "Mujhe sabse pehli film offer hui thi Lust Stories, uss mai Vicky Kaushal ka role mujhe offer hua tha jismein woh apni wife ko satisfy nahi kar pata hai, toh maine woh turn down kar diya."

[The first film which was offered to me was Lust Stories, in which I was to play Vicky Kaushal’s role, who cannot satisfy his wife. I turned that down).

Badshah further said, "Aur dusra role mujhe offer hua Good Newwz film aai thi, jismein Diljit [Dosanjh]Paji ka role offer hua tha jismein woh bache nahi paida kar pate toh woh bhi maine decline kar di, toh teesra role mujhe yeh offer hua, toh mujhe laga saala chehre pai kuch likha hai kya? Toh maine yeh jinx mitane ke liye film ki, mujhe kya pata mera (acting) career hi mit jayega."

[The second role was that of Diljit in Good Newwz, where he can’t conceive a child. I turned that down also. So, when I got the third role, I thought maybe my face is like that and I took it up to break the jinx. Little did I know that my acting career would be wiped out after that role.]
