No actor can beat Aamir Khan's choosy ways when it comes to saying yes to a script. While promoting his latest film, Secret Superstar, Aamir made yet another shocking revelation about one of the biggest releases of 2018. 

Aamir Khan said,  ” There’s a film coming robot, 2.0, I am a big fan of Shankar and I am big fan of Rajini ji. In fact, Shankar has offered me that film. Super duper Hit hai. It’s a blockbuster film. It’s going to break all records. That’s what I feel.” When asked if he was offered the same script, he said yes but then he took us by surprise when he revealed, he was not offered Akshay Kumar’s role but Rajinikanth’s role! Yes that’s true! “Rajini sir himself feeling that he wasn’t well so he told Shankar, please request Aamir. Rajini Sir called me up and said – Please do the film.” stated the actor in an interview with Haricharan Puddipeddi. So why did Aamir Khan reject 2.0, a film he is already calling a blockbuster? 

 

“It’s a superb script and it’s going to do very well but whenever I used to shut my eyes, I used to see Rajini sir in that role. I could not see myself. Mere se emotionally Nahi ho raha tha. Emotionally, when I used to think of the film, think of the scene, Rajini sir used to come in my head. I could not imagine myself doing it. Then I told Shankar, won’t be able to do it. Only Rajini sir can do it. He is irreplaceable. At least I will not be able to do it. I can only imagine Rajini sir in this.  See, he had also done the first part, I had seen the first part and I loved it. I am huge fan of Rajini sir, his whole performance and the way he had created that character had got imprinted in my mind. So Part 2, when I am reading the lines, I am only imagining Rajini sir! I cannot imagine myself only so I didn’t do it. and it’s not a tough decision for me. I know it’s going to be the biggest hit in all languages.”  

 

 

Earlier in an interview Aamir Khan had confessed that he doesn't choose a script on the basis of potential box office but only on the basis of it's emotional connect with the actor. Aamir said, "It’s on the basis of my taste as an audience. When you watch a film you are the audience. I am an audience when I read a script or listen to a story. A script which entertains me or makes me laugh or cry and if I can connect to the characters or I get emotionally attached to the script. That’s an emotional response that I want to do this film. Then I don’t think beyond that."
