Aamir Khan in Parineeta?

But for Vidhu Vinod Chopra, it would have been Aamir as the Bengali babu Girish serenading Lolita in Pradeep Sarkar�s Parineeta. �Yes, Pradeep da did approach me for the role. And he was to come to me for a narration. But that kind of never happened. And there wasn�t any movement on the film from either of our sides� Aamir tells us.

�Later, I once met Vidhu on a flight and I remember him mentioning that he didn�t think I suited the role as much. And that they had Sanjay in mind for the same. We left it at that� the talented actor informs us. Did he personally think he suited the role? �I didn�t know the character well, so I can�t really say whether I would have been the best choice. Besides, even if I were the right guy, it would have been of no consequence. Because I firmly believe that casting is a director�s call. It is about the artists that the production house wishes to have and what anybody else feels or thinks isn�t of matter� he rests.

Now that the promos are on air, what does he think of the film? �Not that I have seen much, but from whatever I have gathered, I like the train song picturised on Saif� the elusive Khan trails off.
