Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan says he was offered to play the role of late Sunil Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani\u2019s Sanju, the upcoming biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt, but he refused it only because he wanted to essay the title character. Aamir interacted with the media here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Asked if he was offered to play the role of Sunil Dutt, he said, \u201cHe (Hirani) approached me with the script and I loved it. He wanted me to play Dutt saab\u2019s role. It is a fantastic role and the story is largely on the father-son relationship. But Sanju\u2019s role is unbelievable.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo as an actor, I told Raju that Sanjay Dutt\u2019s role is so wonderful that it won my heart. So in this film I can\u2019t do any other role but Sanjay Dutt\u2019s, which of course I cannot do because Ranbir (Kapoor) is playing it. So, do not offer me anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aamir, who has clocked 30 years in the film industry, finds Ranbir a good actor and he is confident he must have done well in the film. \u201cI cannot wait to watch the film now,\u201d said Aamir, who has worked closely with Hirani in films like 3 Idiots and PK.<\/p>\n
In real life, Aamir shared a strong bond with Sunil Dutt.

Reminiscing some fond memories of the late actor, he said, \u201cHe always sent me telegrams in those days to wish me on Diwali, Eid, birthday\u2026 If my film did well, he sent me a congratulations note.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aamir said, \u201cDuring the riots of 1993, the Hindi film industry took a delegation to the then Chief Minister to stop the riots. Around 40 people went to the CM\u2019s office. After that, we decided that since no immediate action had been taken, we will sit under the statue of Mahatma Gandhi near Mantralaya. All 40 of us came and sat under the statue and we decided until the violence stops, we won\u2019t move from there.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the night, we decided to continue it rotationally. So on the first time, Dutt Saab, Yash Chopra, Johnny Walker, I and one of the film producers, we all sat down together at night under the Gandhi statue. We spent the whole night there\u2026 Of course, the next day people came and by the evening the CM took some action.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for me, it was a memorable night where I was listening to the stories of their journey from Dutt saab and Johnny Walker. I remember that night very clearly. He was a very strong, dignified and gentle person.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
