I
Failed
The
'Look
Test'
In
Sanju
Despite
Numerous
Attempts,
Says
Akshaye
Khanna
"Rajkumar
Hirani
and
I
had
a
couple
of
meetings
(for
Sanju).
In
spite
of
innumerable
‘look
tests',
I
was
a
misfit
in
that
character.
So
I
missed
out
on
working
with
him
in
the
biopic," said
Akshaye
Khanna
to
Deccan
Chronicle.
I
Feel
Sad
That
I
Missed
A
Golden
Opportunity
"I
feel
sad
at
not
being
able
to
work
in
Sanju
after
being
bestowed
upon
with
a
chance
to
be
the
part
of
the
film.
He
(Rajkumar
Hirani)
is
such
an
incredible
and
brilliant
story
teller," Akshaye
adds.

Akshaye
Khanna
Feels
Lucky
To
Have
Worked
With
Big
Stars
Previously
"They
(Sridevi,
Kader
Khan)
were
all
great
stars
as
well,
and
working
with
them
was
a
great
experience.
I
consider
myself
blessed
for
having
got
a
chance
to
work
with
all
of
them,"
Akshaye
Khanna
summed
it
up.
