Recently, while interacting with media, Aamir Khan finally revealed about why he didn’t want to take up the role in Sanju. Aamir said, “He (Hirani) approached me with the script and I loved it. He wanted me to play Dutt saab’s role. It is a fantastic role and the story is largely on the father-son relationship. But Sanju’s role is unbelievable. So as an actor, I told Raju that Sanjay Dutt’s role is so wonderful that it won my heart. So in this film I can’t do any other role but Sanjay Dutt’s, which of course I cannot do because Ranbir is playing it. So, do not offer me anything else.”

Previously, Aamir and Rajkumar Hirani have worked together in films such as PK and 3 Idiots, both of which turned out to be blockbusters hits.
