Aamir
Khan
Was
Offered
Anil
Kapoor's
Role
In
1942:
A
Love
Story
Speaking
to
a
section
of
media,
Aamir
revealed,
"I
was
offered
1942:
A
Love
Story
but
I
didn't
like
the
script."
He
Had
Even
Advised
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
Against
Making
The
Film
"I
even
advised
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
to
not
make
it
either,
but
then
the
songs
of
the
film
worked," the
superstar
further
revealed.
How
Anil
Kapoor
Came
Into
The
Picture
During
the
promotions
of
'Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga',
Anil
had
revealed
that
he
initially
felt
he
was
too
old
to
do
a
love
story.
But
when
the
Chopra
brothers
made
him
listen
to
the
songs,
'Kuch
Naa
Kaho' and
'Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga',
Anil
changed
his
mind
and
the
rest
is
history.
Aamir
Had
Even
Turned
Down
Saajan
Revealing
details,
Aamir
said,
"Lawrence
D'souza
had
offered
me
Saajan.
I
turned
the
film
down
because
I
felt
it
wasn't
my
type
of
a
film."
'Saajan
Was
Perfect
For
Salman
&
Sanju'
He
further
added,
"Sanjay
Dutt
and
Salman
Khan
ended
up
doing
the
film
which
turned
out
to
be
super-duper
hit.
It's
good
I
didn't
do
it
because
I
might
have
spoiled
the
film
had
I
starred
in
it.
Saajan
was
perfect
for
Salman
and
Sanju."
Interestingly,
in
an
interview
with
Cinestaan,
Lawrence
had
earlier
opened
up,
"My
first
choice
were
Salman,
Aamir
Khan
and
Madhuri.
But
Aamir
refused
maybe
because
I
was
a
new
director
or
something
else;
I
don't
know.
Before
that,
I
was
a
cinematographer.
We
then
spoke
with
Sanjay
and
he
came
on
board."
He
said,
"At
that
time,
he
had
2-3
hit
action
films.
So,
he
was
ready
to
do
an
emotional
role. The
character
perfectly
suited
him.
I
personally
feel
Aamir
wouldn't
have
fitted
this
much.
As
they
say,
whatever
happens,
happens
for
the
good."
