Yash Chopra's Darr is synonymnous with Shahrukh Khan's 'K.K..Kiran' act. In fact, the actor even stole away the limelight from Sunny Deol who was the 'hero' of the film.

But do you folks know that Aamir Khan was supposed to do this film? Yes, you heard it right. It was said that the actor opted out of Darr but shockingly years later in an interview, Aamir revealed that the makers threw him out of the film. Well, that comes across as a huge shock considering he is known to be 'Mr Perfectionalist' in Bollywood today.

So what exactly went wrong? The answer lies in this interview dating back to 1994...

The Real Reason Why Aamir Khan Was Removed From 'Darr'

"I did not walk out of Darr. I was removed from the film. Two, I was removed from the film because I asked for a joint narration with Sunny Deol. Initially, the director agreed, but later I don't know why he changed his mind. When I persisted, he phoned to say 'Aamir, let's work some other time.' So I said, 'Fine'.

"That the film was going to become a big hit is something I had expected. In fact, that's the reason I signed it. "

"When I said yes to Darr, I was absolutely sure of two things - one that the film was going to click and two, that I was going to enjoy doing the role. My doubts about my enjoying it, surfaced when the director refused to give a joint narration. In a way I was relieved when I was finally out of the film, because this was better than suffering all through its shooting. If I felt sad, it was about my missing out on a very good role."

Reportedly Sunny was given a choice by Yash Chopra to play either Rahul Malhotra or Sunil Mehra in the film. As expected, he gave his nod for the positive role. However, post watching the film he felt that the Chopras didn't play it fair and allowed SRK to steal away from the limelight from him. This didn't go down well with Sunny and years later in an interview he declared, "I'll never work with Yash Chopra again. He isn't a man of his words. I don't have good memories about him, he betrayed my faith in him."

Was Aamir Envious Of Shahrukh Khan's Success?

"I would if I did not get the response I do from my audience. I don't think the audience respects me any less than it does Shahrukh. That he has had two blockbusters in a row, which is what Anil (Kapoor) had after Tezaab and later Salman (Khan), does not become a barometer for any star's popularity."

"Something more long term than two hits. The current mass hysteria for Shah Rukh was inevitable. They do that to every hero after a successful release. I enjoyed it too after Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, after Dil, after Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke. These waves come in everytime there's a hit. It's no big deal!! "

"Sorry boss, I have no energy to direct films for others. When I direct, it will be for myself."

Aamir Khan and SRK would never fail to take digs at each other in their younger days. Now that they both are superstars, things seem to be changing. In fact, a few months back the duo clicked their first picture together in 25 years!
