Actor Aamir Khan may be busy
holidaying with kids, but back home speculations of a fall-out between him and
his Rang De Basanti co-star Siddharth have come to the fore. The popular South
actor, who is a close buddy of Aamir’s, was apparently offered to be a
part of Khan’s Delhi Belly, but quoted so huge a fee (approx Rs. 3 crores)
that it left AK disturbed and upset. While some say that the two are now not on
talking terms, a few unit members have another story to tell.
“The
movie is about three guys who are roomies,” informs the official
spokesperson of Aamir’s production house. “The plan was always to
cast relative newcomers in the film. While Imran Khan was signed on to play one
of the three roomies, we conducted several auditions for the other two. Kunal
Roy Kapoor and Veer Das were ultimately zeroed in for the roles. Siddharth
wasn’t supposed to be part of the film. So there shouldn’t be any
bone of contention.”
