Film Rustom has swept away the box office and Akshay's act
has come in for high admirations from all quarters. But did you know a little
secret - it was Aamir Khan who wanted to do the role.
As per the reports, Aamir was secretly working on his own
movie based on the infamous KM Nanavati case. The gossip has it that Mr.
Perfectionist had conducted extensive research into the case and had even
gotten in touch with Sylvia, Nanavati's widow to get her on board. Regrettably,
the project fell through when a couple of other films based on the same case
were announced.
Apparently, Aamir was collaborating with director Ram
Madhvani of Neerja fame for this project and the two even met Sylvia who now
resides in London. It seems that Sylvia was very kicked up about the project
since Aamir is known to be a megastar with a conscience. But then things fell
apart when Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey announced Rustom. Pooja Bhatt and
Soni Razdan also announced Love Affair, based on the same subject.
Insider news has it that team Aamir who were researching on
the project are quite saddened after seeing Rustom as they feel it has very
little to do with the actual case and their approach towards the movie would
have been totally different. They feel such a subject deserved to be brought to
celluloid with some responsibility. The project has now been put on ice. That’s
really sad since it would have been really interesting to see Aamir’s take on
this complex saga of love, betrayal and honour.
