Farhan Akhtar revealed that Aamir Khan demanded to play Akshaye Khanna in Dil Chahta Hai: ‘I don’t want to play SID, I want to play the sky’.

When Farhan Akhtar was connecting the actors together for his first film Heart wakesThings were not running according to the plan at all. After the actor, the actor turned him down, and it seemed that his dream project could also be a stall before rolling begins. Then Akshaye Khanna-His first “yes” and a very important glimpse of hope. At that time, Akshay did not have to play Buding Sid; He was really cast as attractive and chic sky – the role that would later be distinguished in Aamir Khan’s hands.As for Aamir? Farhan also did not consider contacting him earlier. “He is never going to say yes,” he thought. But as the options dried up, they decided to take a shot. Twist? When he finally met, Farhan took Sid to Aamir … but Aamir had his own views- and a couple of sports-up situations.Aamir’s terms: A script re -writes and a role swapFarhan described Akshay as someone with incredible integrity and recalled how the actor immediately agreed to play the sky when contacted for the first time. At that time, Farhan did not even consider Aamir Khan for the film, assuming that he would not be interested. But with limited options, he eventually decided to meet Aamir – out of more obligation than expected. For Farhan’s surprise, Aamir liked the script. However, before committing the commitment, he determined two specific terms.Aamir was interested in the film, but there were some conditions before signing. Since the script was originally written in English, he first wanted to see a Hindi version of whether Humor would translate well. Additionally, he made it clear that if he joined the project, he preferred to play the sky instead of Sid. Farhan quickly acted as the script in Hindi, and once when Amir approved it, a new challenge arose – how to break the news to Akshay, who was already committed to playing the role of Akash.Akshay KhannaCompassionate reaction ofFarhan accepted Aamir about the dilemma, and Aamir believed that Akshay would be considered. When Farhan approached Akshay with a change, Akshay responded with full grace, stating that Aamir was eager to do the film, but wanted to play the role of Akash. He did not say role in the role of Swap and just said that he had no objection to playing SID – until he got to be a part of the film. Farhan expressed his deep gratitude to Akshay’s generosity and professionalism, saying that he would always be indebted to be so kind.Dil Chahta Hai also starred Saif Ali Khan, Dimple Kapadia and Preity Zinta.
