Like Pawan Kalyan's dialogue in Attarintiki Daredi: 'Luck knocked on your door, but you were too busy sleeping to notice it', our star heroes have also kissed goodbye to luck due to their poor choices. Being actors, they are offered roles in various films. And being actors, they choose the projects which they think will work well & distance themselves from those films which they believe will fail. However, if those rejections turn out be blockbusters then it not only causes regret to the star & it also gives others the scope to criticise & make fun of the actor's choices. However, it'd be fun to imagine how well our heroes careers would shaped up if they had accepted such films. As the veracity of the older stars' rejections cannot be ascertained due to the lack of credible sources, we've listed out the rejections of the stars of recent times which went on to become blockbusters.
Wonder what influenced Tarak to miss out on these blockbusters. His rejections have totalled to 8 and all of them have set the cash registers ringing. He rejected Dil, Arya, Athannokade, Krishna, Bhadra, Kick, Srimanthudu & Oopiri. He regretted his negatory response about Bhadra for it went on to become a trendsetter in violence.

Pawan Kalyan: 6 Rejections
Pawan Kalyan is another addition to this list. Pawan gutsily rejected a total of six films which are Idiot, Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammayi, Athadu, Pokiri, Mirapakay, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. Of all the above, he regrets the most on missing out on Athadu. As for Mirapakay, he acknowledged his poor decision in Gabbar Singh by uttering the film's title (Mirapakay) at the very end. It is worth mentioning that both Mirapakay & Gabbar Singh were directed by Harish Shankar.

Mahesh Babu: 2 Rejections
Mahesh Babu excersised caution during his rejections. He was Gautam Menon's first choice for Ye Maya Chesave. However, the star rejected the script for he felt it was bland and that it didn't suit him. Recently, he was offered the Gona Ganna Reddy part in Rudramadevi. However, he rejected the macho role as he felt that it didn't suit his persona.

Suriya: 2 Rejections
Suriya was Puri's first choice for Businessman. However, due to scheduling conflicts, he opted out and he was promptly replaced by Mahesh Babu. The biggest regret that he missed out on a Rajamouli directorial. He regretted it his poor decision so much that he publicly apologised to Rajamouli at Sikander's audio launch.

Ram Charan: 2 Rejections
Ram Charan rejected Yeto Vellipoindhi Manasu as he felt that it possess the potential to become a hit. He also rejected OK Bangaram as he wanted to act in films which bring in only money. As most Mani Ratnam films bag only awards, he rejected the film. Unfortunately for him, it went to become a critical & commercial blockbuster.

Prabhas: 1 Rejection
Prabhas courageously turned down Rajamouli's Simhadri for he didn't believe in his direction. However, after seeing how well it came out, a sad Prabhas humbly praised Rajamouli. Soon after, Rajamouli approached him for Chatrapathi.

Allu Arjun: 1 Rejection

Manchu Manoj: 1 Rejection
For reasons unknown, Manoj passed the lead role offer in Racha. The role was then offered to Ram Charan who rocked the directionless youth's performance in the blockbuster which was lauded for its production values.
