Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh and director R S Prasanna attended an interesting panel during the Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit and Awards 2025 and promoted their much-awaited film, Sitaare Zameen Par.
Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit and Awards 2025: Aamir Khan reveals that he had declined to act in Sitaare Zameen Par: “We had decided to make two versions – one in Hindi with Farhan Akhtar while Sivakarthikeyan was going to do Tamil version”
Aamir Khan revealed that there was a point when he decided to walk out of the film. He said, “I told Prasanna that I was depressed and hence, I needed a break. Prasanna got a heart attack (laughs) on hearing that. He was very understanding. He said, ‘I understand what you are going through and emotionally, you don’t feel like doing the film. But I request you to produce the film’. I agreed.”
He added, “At that time, we had decided to make two versions – one in Hindi with Farhan Akhtar while Sivakarthikeyan was going to do the Tamil version. They loved the script and the dates were even worked out.”
Aamir continued, “Before going to prep, I always sit with the writer and director for a week or two to go through the script in detail. On the first day of reading the script, within half an hour, I was like ‘Why am I not doing this film’. For 7 days, I got that feeling 10 times a day. Then on the seventh day, mere se raha nahin gaya. I told writer Divya and Prasanna that I loved the script. I also said, ‘Now it’s too late. Casting ho chuki hai’. The bullet has been fired from the gun. Prasanna told me, ‘I am from Chennai. We take the bullet which has been fired and put it back in the gun’!”
Aamir Khan stated, “He told me, ‘You are my original choice and as a director, I have been with you for 4 years. Now, when you are feeling like doing it, I can’t let you down’.”
Aamir then revealed, “Badi himmat karke, I spoke to Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan and apologized to them. I honestly told them what had happened. They were disappointed but they understood my point. Farhan said, ‘You have lived with the script for so long’.”
