In a surprising turn of events, Aamir Khan recently revealed that Farhan Akhtar was initially locked as the main lead for the Hindi version of his iconic film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, while Sivakarthikeyan was set to play the lead in the Tamil version. However, Aamir Khan didn’t go through with his original plan after his previous film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ failed to impress. But, after reading the script, he changed his mind and took on the role himself.
Aamir Khan recently spoke about his original plan and how he had to change his mind after ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ didn’t do well. “When I spoke to Farhan and Sivakarthik, they were very supportive,” he said, revealing that they were understanding of his decision to take on the role himself.

The revelation has also sparked a debate among fans and critics about who would have been better suited for the role.
