Farhan & Sivakarthikeyan were leads in ‘Sitaare…’ first: Aamir
In a shocking revelation, Aamir Khan recently revealed that Farhan Akhtar was initially locked as the main lead for the Hindi version of the film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, while Sivakarthikeyan was set to star in the Tamil version. The film, which is a remake of the 2005 Telugu movie ‘Chirutha’, has been in the news for a while now, with Aamir Khan playing the lead role. However, it is interesting to note that Aamir Khan was not the first choice for the film.
In an interview, Aamir Khan revealed that he was initially not interested in doing the film after the failure of his previous project, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. However, after reading the script, he changed his mind and decided to take on the role. When he approached Farhan Akhtar and Sivakarthikeyan, who were initially attached to the project, they were very understanding and supportive.
This revelation is quite surprising, considering that Aamir Khan is one of the most iconic actors in Bollywood, with a string of hits to his credit. It is interesting to see that even someone of his stature was not the first choice for the film.
So, what made Aamir Khan change his mind about doing the film? According to him, it was the script that won him over. “When I read the script, I was blown away,” he said in an interview. “It’s a beautiful story, and I felt that I could do justice to the role.”
Farhan Akhtar, who was initially attached to the project, is known for his versatility as an actor. He has played a wide range of roles in his career, from romantic comedies to intense dramas. It is interesting to note that he was the first choice for the Hindi version of the film, and it is likely that he would have brought a unique perspective to the role.
Sivakarthikeyan, who was set to star in the Tamil version of the film, is a popular actor in the Tamil film industry. He has a string of hits to his credit, including ‘Ethir Neechal’, ‘Maan Karate’, and ‘Rajini Murugan’. It is likely that he would have brought a fresh perspective to the role, and his fans would have been excited to see him take on a new challenge.
The fact that Aamir Khan was initially not interested in doing the film is not surprising. He has been known to be quite selective about his projects, and has turned down several films over the years. However, it is interesting to see that even someone of his stature was not the first choice for the film.
In conclusion, the news that Farhan Akhtar was initially locked as the main lead for the Hindi version of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, and Sivakarthikeyan for the Tamil version, is quite surprising. Aamir Khan’s revelation about initially not being interested in doing the film, and then changing his mind after reading the script, is also quite interesting. It will be interesting to see how the film turns out, and what kind of performance Aamir Khan brings to the role.
