Kabhi haan kabhi naa
The world is waiting to see them together. And Raj Kumar Santoshi would have actually managed this coup. The film-maker had cast Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan in his film London Dreams, a story about two friends, both musicians. At that it was to be titled Rashque (jealousy in Urdu). For three nights Santoshi even managed to get Bollywood's two most charismatic stars together for a joint narration.
A trade source says, "In principle both actors loved the script, said they wanted to go home and sleep over it before they started principal photography. But for months on end, Raj Santoshi chased both actors independently and neither of them reverted.''
Santoshi's London Dreams is now a Vipul Shah franchise with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan. When Santoshi was making it, Aamir was to do Salman Khan's role and Shah Rukh was to do Ajay Devgan's part.
However the reason why the Aamir-SRK joint project came to memory is because on the sets of 3 Idiots Aamir started a guessing game in his vanity van at Filmcity where he asked film-maker Raj Kumar Hirani, co-actors Boman Irani and Sharman Joshi and everyone else present whether they remembered the only film in which he and SRK had been together.
Of course everyone came up with a blank…and at the end of 15 minutes Aamir winked naughtily and said, "you guys have missed a moment in film history. Shah Rukh and I were together in Ashutosh Gowarikar's Pehla Nasha way back in 1993 where we gave one shot in the same frame at a film premiere sequence.''
While it being seriously debated whether SRK and Aamir will do Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet as a team, sources close to both actors say it is highly unlikely that these two will ever be seen in the same frame again.
On the sets of his film Lajja in 2003, Raj Santoshi had categorically said that Aamir and Shah Rukh would not do a film together; and even Ashutosh Gowarikar who managed the coup when he was still a struggling director also hinted that it is unlikely that his Lagaan and Swades leading men would ever be together in the same frame.
Some things are just not meant to be, we guess.
You guys have missed a moment in film history – Aamir Khan
Guess when Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan appeared together in the same frame, and we're not talking of their supposed togetherness during the multiplex crisis. For the answer, read on…
