His next home production, Peepli Live may be the main thing on Aamir Khan’s mind right now but there’s always space for other things, like new roles which could lead him to the Oscar glory that eluded him the last time round!
Aamir confirmed that he has been offered a role in Danny Boyle’s next Bombay Velvet. "Yes I have been offered Danny’s film, but I am completely involved with Peepli right now," said Aamir.
Aamir and Danny had talked about a combined project at the premiere of Slumdog Millionaire in Mumbai and with the Oscar winning director repeatedly spotted in Mumbai, rumours continued that it was to convince the perfectionist.
"I have been offered many projects, I am thinking over them," said Aamir.
Bombay Velvet will be directed by Anurag Kashyap and is said to be based on a series of real life city based stories.
Though many have suggested that Shah Rukh Khan was offered the role first, Anurag insists that Aamir was always their first choice.
"Shah Rukh Khan is a nice actor, but this script is tailor made for Aamir. We never considered casting anyone else," Anurag had once said.
SRK was supposed to play Anil Kapoor’s part in Slumdog Millionaire and everyone knows well that turned out for him!
Aamir’s had his eyes on the west for a while now, let’s hope he finally has reason to say Jai Ho!
