Movies rejected by Amitabh

I remember reading an article which listed movies that were initially offered to Amitabh Bachchan but he refused them (for whatever reason). The ones I recall are:

Qurbani
Meri Jung
Mr. India
Parinda
King Uncle

Man, he sure must be regretting rejecting some of those as they went on to become huge hits and really catapulted their stars.

Does anyone remember any other movies that he rejected?

how was King Uncle even in this list
My original post and the list was about "Movies rejected by Amitabh". So that is why King Uncle is on the list.

and how would it have catpaulted him or made him remain a star.
I said, and I quote myself: "Man, he sure must be regretting rejecting some of those as they went on to become huge hits and really catapulted their stars."

When asked many years ago which was SRK's worst movie AB clearly said King Uncle. I doubt he regrets the decision at all.
Again I was talking about him regretting the decision to reject some of those movies which went on to become big hits.

If I remember correctly, when he was on Koffee with Karan along with SRK, he said that according to him SRK's worst film was "English Babu Desi Mem".
