Farhan & Sivakarthikeyan were leads in ‘Sitaare…’ first: Aamir
In a shocking revelation, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has spilled the beans on his initial plans for the Hindi and Tamil versions of the iconic film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. In a recent interview, Aamir revealed that he had initially locked Farhan Akhtar as the main lead for the Hindi version, while Sivakarthikeyan was set to play the lead in the Tamil version. However, Aamir’s plans changed after the failure of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, leading him to revisit the script and eventually decide to play the lead role himself.
The news has sent shockwaves through the film industry, with many wondering what could have been if Aamir had stuck to his original plans. Farhan Akhtar, known for his versatility as an actor, director, and producer, would have undoubtedly brought a unique perspective to the role. Sivakarthikeyan, on the other hand, is one of the most popular actors in the Tamil film industry, known for his energetic performances and charming on-screen presence.
The news of Aamir’s initial choices for ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ was revealed in an interview with a leading entertainment portal. When asked about his experience working on the film, Aamir spoke about how he had initially planned to cast Farhan Akhtar and Sivakarthikeyan in the lead roles. “When I spoke to Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan, they were very supportive,” Aamir said, praising the two actors for their understanding of the project.
It’s interesting to note that Aamir had always been fascinated by the story of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, which is based on the life of Tarun Bhadana, a deaf and mute boy who overcomes his physical limitations to achieve his dreams. Aamir had first read the script several years ago and was deeply moved by the story. He saw an opportunity to not only tell a powerful and inspiring tale but also to explore the themes of perseverance and determination.
Despite his initial plans to cast Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan, Aamir ultimately decided to take on the lead role himself. As we now know, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ went on to become a critically acclaimed film, with Aamir receiving widespread praise for his performance. However, it’s intriguing to think about what could have been if Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan had been part of the project.
Farhan Akhtar, known for his work on films like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Lakshya’, and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, would have undoubtedly brought a unique energy to the role. With his versatility as an actor and his ability to convey complex emotions, Farhan could have easily made the character his own. It’s also worth noting that Farhan has a natural charm and charisma that would have added a new dimension to the role.
Sivakarthikeyan, on the other hand, is known for his incredible range as an actor. With films like ‘Ethir Neechal’, ‘Maan Karate’, and ‘Velaikkaran’ under his belt, Sivakarthikeyan has consistently proven himself to be one of the most talented and bankable stars in the Tamil film industry. His ability to convey emotions and bring depth to his characters would have been an asset to the film.
While Aamir’s decision to take on the lead role ultimately led to the success of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, it’s fascinating to think about what could have been if Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan had been part of the project. The news serves as a reminder that the film industry is full of what-ifs and could-have-beens, and that sometimes, the choices we make can lead to unexpected and exciting outcomes.
In conclusion, Aamir Khan’s revelation about his initial choices for ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ has sent shockwaves through the film industry. While it’s impossible to know what would have happened if Farhan Akhtar and Sivakarthikeyan had been part of the project, it’s clear that their involvement would have added a new layer of depth and excitement to the film. As we continue to celebrate the success of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, we can’t help but wonder what could have been if Aamir had stuck to his original plans.
