Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Om Shanti Om' is still special for SRK fans. The film not only did well at the box office but also became a hit in its time. Deepika Padukone made her Bollywood debut with this film, and Arjun Rampal's casting as the villain is an interesting story. Arjun had initially refused the role, but Shah Rukh Khan convinced him to take it up in a unique way.

According to reports, Farah Khan, the director of the film, had approached several stars for the villain's role, but they all declined. She then approached Arjun Rampal, but he too refused. One day, at a party at Shah Rukh Khan's house, Farah requested Shah Rukh to convince Arjun to take up the role. Shah Rukh and Farah took Arjun to the bathroom, away from the noise of the party, and narrated the script to him. Despite this, Arjun was still hesitant, but Shah Rukh finally managed to convince him.

Arjun Rampal's negative character in the film was well-received by the audience. Recently, Arjun was seen in the film 'Dhaakad' alongside Vidyut Jammwal. 'Om Shanti Om' was a multi-starrer film that also featured several Bollywood stars in a song sequence. The film's success was a significant milestone in Shah Rukh Khan's career."
