     Milind Gunaji recalls turning down DDLJ and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Mrityudaata.

     Milind Gunaji is an actor, writer and director who has worked in Hindi cinema for over three decades. He is known for his work in films such as DDLJ (1994), Mrityudaata (1998), and Taare Zameen Par (2007). Gunaji recently spoke to The Times of India about his experiences working on two of the biggest Hindi films of all time, Mrityudaata and DDLJ.

     Gunaji recalls turning down the role of Amar in DDLJ. "I was offered the role of Amar and I initially agreed to do it. But then I changed my mind. I didn't want to do a film with Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. I thought it would be too much of a pressure," Gunaji said.

By refusing the role, Gunaji was able to maintain some degree of control over his own career.

     Gunaji's decision not to take the role of Panditji in Mrityudaata may have been motivated by a different fear: the fear of not living up to Dilip Kumar's high standards. By refusing the role, Gunaji was able to maintain some degree of control over his own career. By contrast, actors who take on roles in big films often find themselves under enormous pressure to deliver good performances. This pressure can be so great that it can lead to disastrous results, as was the case with Aishwarya Rai in DDLJ.

     Gunaji's experiences provide a valuable lesson for aspiring actors. If you are offered a role in a big Hindi film, be sure to carefully consider the risks and rewards of taking on the role. If you decide to take on the role, make sure you are prepared to
