This multi-starrer film of Aamir Khan, released in the year 2006, was first offered to Farhan Akhtar. Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra was the first person who offered Farhan his first role in his film ‘Rang De Basanti’. Yes! In one of his interviews, the renowned filmmaker said that he had offered the role of ‘Karan’ to Farhan, which was later played by Siddharth. At that time Farhan could not do that film because he wanted to focus on directing, film making, and his writing career.
Farhan Akhtar rejected the film
Talking about this, Rakesh Omprakash Mehra said, ‘You will not believe, I had offered him ‘Rang De Basanti’. This was in 2004 and I made ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ in 2013 and he did not refuse, there was a twinkle in his eyes and a smile. He told me, ‘I have just done ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and you want me to act.’ I mean, he must have thought, ‘What is he looking for in me for acting?’ I am setting goals and he is asking me to act.
Farhan busy preparing for ‘Don 3’
On the work front, Farhan Akhtar is all set to start shooting for his next untitled film from July, and he is also preparing for his next directorial film ‘Don 3’ starring Ranveer Singh soon.
