One question that's bothering every trade pundit in Bollywood is that why Ashutosh Gowariker chose SRK over Aamir Khan to play the lead role of Mohan Bhargav in his upcoming flick Swades.

When confronted the director said, "I like the irresponsibility and unpredictability attached to Shah Rukh's personality. Moreover, post Lagaan, Aamir had become so huge as a screen personality that if I cast him he would completely override the character. I get excited by the script, rather than a star. I would choose an actor on the basis of the script."

Gowariker has also worked with King Khan in Circus, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Chamatkar.

According to him: "Shah Rukh is a very flexible actor. I had the script and characterisation ready so I had worked out the nuances. Shah Rukh understood what I envisaged very well. You will see a different side to him in Swades. Also I didn't want to let go of Shah Rukh's persona and charisma because that is a part of the character."
