I told Mahesh Bhatt: 'Please tell Aamir that I may not be the "hero" of the film but I am far more educated and learned in the field of acting. My brief is that anybody who, at the end of the film, tells his daughter that "I am the biggest idiot on earth", who tells his daughter to run away from the wedding, has to be slightly eccentric. In turn, I turned to Bhatt saab and asked: 'Do you have faith in me or not? When Mahesh Bhatt told me about it, I was upset and wondered why he was stepping on my creative toes. He made it clear to Mahesh Bhatt that this was not the way the father's role should be enacted. We had a major problem during Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi as he was very unhappy with my interpretation of Pooja Bhatt's father's character. Undoubtedly, a very fine actor and a very hard-working one, but his personal interpretation took more precedence above all else.

Yash Chopra signed him and did not regret it.Īnd there was no looking back for either of them. 'The other role is an important one for an actor to play and I am sure he will do a good job for you,' I told him. 'But, will he do it at the last minute?' he enquired. Then, one day, when I was returning with Yash Chopra from a funeral, I told him: 'Yash ji, you must talk to Shah Rukh.'
Yash asked me if I could recommend someone to replace Aamir.Īt that time, I was doing a film with Ramesh Sippy, Zamaana Deewana, which had Shah Rukh and Raveena Tandon with Jeetendra and Shatrughan Sinha in the cast. It was sometime in December 1993, when Aamir Khan had quit Yash Chopra's film Darr: A Violent Love Story, at the last minute. I played a very significant role in getting him into the Yash Chopra films. He is a very generous actor, brimming with enthusiasm and is very respectful. We have shared some great, fun times together. Over the years, I have enjoyed working with Shah Rukh Khan in various films.
