Saif was first option for SRK’s show

The reports of Shah Rukh Khan returning to television was out in the open but what remained under wraps was the fact that the project was firstly offered to Saif Ali Khan. SRK will be seen hosting a water-based adventure sport show, ‘Wipeout’. Buzz has it that the producers of the show were in talks with Saif, but the latter was very apprehensive about the same.

Speaking to a tabloid, a source close to the channel on which the show is planned to air exposed, “Saif could not make up his mind. He was a bit sceptical about acting in a Television show.”And since Saif was indecisive about the offer and was taking too long to reciprocate, the channel chose to approach some other celebrity.

Eventually, they spoke to King Khan, who jumped at the offer.“Shah Rukh grabbed the chance. He loved the idea of the show,” said a source.The staff producing the show is glad to have locked SRK for the show. “SRK brings a lot of energy on the table. But the channel would absolutely love to work with Saif in future,” added the source.
