SRK was the only one who believed in Baazigar, says writer

Abbas–Mustan’s Baazigar may be celebrated today as a cult classic, but back in 1993, the film was viewed as a major risk. Released in just Shah Rukh Khan’s second year in Bollywood, the thriller went on to transform careers—turning SRK into a breakout star, giving Kajol her first significant commercial hit, and launching Shilpa Shetty. It eventually became the fourth-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. But before all the acclaim, the project was met with widespread skepticism.
