AK vs AK was a black comedy as well as based on the psychological battle of two people. In this film, Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap were seen fighting with each other. The film stars Anil Kapoor in his real-life character and his daughter Sonam Kapoor gets kidnapped. Along with Sonam, Anil’s brother Boney Kapoor and his son Harshvardhan Kapoor also made cameos in the film.
The story of the film was written for Aamir only.
Now in an interview given to ‘Mid-Day’, Vikramaditya Motwane has revealed that Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap were not the first choice for the film. He says, ‘Writer Avinash Sampat has now become a good friend of mine. When he sent us the script, he wrote this story for Aamir Khan. I was sure that Aamir would never work in such a film, so we did not even make any effort in this direction.
‘Suppose Akshay almost threw him out of the office’
He further said, ‘We did approach Akshay Kumar and it was a very interesting meeting. I mean he didn’t directly say get out of my office, but he was pretty darn close! After this, for some time I was also thinking of making this film with Shahid Kapoor. But again this did not happen. AK kept changing in our film. In the film, director AK, i.e. Anurag Kashyap, was the only one who was associated from the beginning. He is a brilliant actor.
