Farhan & Sivakarthikeyan were leads in ‘Sitaare…’ first: Aamir
In a shocking revelation, Aamir Khan, the renowned Bollywood actor, has revealed that Farhan Akhtar was initially locked as the main lead for the Hindi version of his upcoming film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, while Sivakarthikeyan was chosen for the Tamil version. The news has left fans stunned, wondering what could have been if Aamir hadn’t decided to take on the role himself.
The idea of Farhan Akhtar, known for his energetic performances in films like ‘Rock On!!’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, playing the lead role in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is an intriguing one. However, it seems that Aamir Khan’s passion for the project ultimately won out, and he decided to take on the role himself.
So, what led to this change of heart? In a recent interview, Aamir revealed that he was initially hesitant to take on the role after the failure of his previous film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. However, after reading the script of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, he found himself drawn to the project once again.
“When I spoke to Farhan and Sivakarthik, they were very supportive,” Aamir said. “They were very understanding and said, ‘You do what you think is best for the film.’ I appreciate their support.”
It’s clear that Aamir holds Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan in high regard, and their willingness to step aside and let him take the lead is a testament to their professionalism. But what could have been if Farhan had taken on the role? Would he have brought a different energy to the film, one that would have changed the course of its success?
Farhan Akhtar is known for his versatility as an actor, having played a wide range of roles throughout his career. He’s proven himself to be a talented singer, songwriter, and director, and has even lent his voice to several films. So, it’s not hard to imagine him bringing a unique perspective to the role of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’.
On the other hand, Sivakarthikeyan is a popular Tamil actor known for his energetic performances in films like ‘Ethir Neechal’ and ‘Maan Karate’. He’s built a reputation for his comedic timing and has a strong fan following in the Tamil film industry. His involvement in the Tamil version of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ would have undoubtedly brought a fresh perspective to the film.
Aamir Khan’s decision to take on the role of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ himself is a testament to his dedication to the project. Despite the initial plan to cast Farhan Akhtar and Sivakarthikeyan, Aamir’s passion for the film ultimately won out. And while we may never know what would have happened if Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan had taken on the roles, it’s clear that Aamir’s decision to take on the project himself has been the right one.
In conclusion, Aamir Khan’s revelation about Farhan Akhtar and Sivakarthikeyan being initially chosen for the lead roles in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is a fascinating one. While we may never know what could have been if they had taken on the roles, it’s clear that Aamir’s passion for the project ultimately won out. And as fans, we can only look forward to seeing what Aamir has in store for us with ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’.
