The debate about which Khan is better has been relentless in Bollywood. Whether it is Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan can be argued for hours upon hours. Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga has her own opinion about the three. So much so that it has also affected her casting choices.
If you’re a huge Salman Khan fan, Monga’s answer could make your blood boil. The producer has some of the most critically acclaimed films under her belt, and for a possible ₹200 cr film, she was eyeing a Khan. Much to the fans’ dismay, the Ready actor did not make the cut.

Guneet Monga’s Favourite Khan Isn’t Salman
During an interview with Game Changers, Guneet Monga was asked about Bollywood’s most influential actors, aka, the Khans. When asked to rate the three, she went on to answer that Shah Rukh Khan was her childhood crush, so she is biased towards him. There is never a competition when he is in the mix because she will always choose him.
She further added that she would desperately want to work with Aamir Khan.“I don’t even know him. And I don’t think he knows me either. At least I have met both Aamir and Shah Rukh. But, I have never met Salman,” she continued.
Unlike with Salman, Monga doesn’t mind the fact that she doesn’t know Aamir. In fact, it only motivates her to want to work with him even more. While Shah Rukh Khan inspired her to come to Mumbai, Salman Khan is yet to leave a bold impression on her. She then ranked the three accordingly: Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and finally, Salman Khan.
Guneet Monga’s Dream Cast For A ₹200 Cr Film
The interview then dove into the possibility that Guneet Monga gets ₹200 cr for a single film. This fact itself prompted the producer to reconfirm the budget because she wasn’t used to it. When asked who she would cast in such a film, her answer was clear cut.
Her dream cast for a possible ₹200 cr film would be Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. Their duo is one that has been lighting fires all around Bollywood. From Om Shanti Om, Happy New Year and Chennai Express to Pathan, this is a pair that has made its mark on the world.
While Monga is already working on a romcom with Ayushman Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, the chance to see the iconic stars back on the silver screen together would be worth it. Perhaps if the producer got a chance to know Salman Khan personally, he’d also become a part of her future films.
