Salman Khan jokingly reveals Sitaare Zameen Par was offered to him: ‘Meine haan bhi keh di’
Superstar Salman Khan attended the star-studded screening of Sitaare Zameen Par in Mumbai on Thursday (June 19). As the Sikander actor arrived at the venue, he was warmly welcomed by Aamir Khan and jokingly claimed that the movie was initially offered to him, but Aamir decided to do it himself.
For the unversed, Aamir Khan’s latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, was released in theatres on June 20, which is an official Hindi remake of the Spanish movie Campeones. The movie has so far received positive reviews from the audience and is expected to collect around Rs 10 crore on its opening day.
At the Mumbai premiere of Sitaare Zameen Par, Salman Khan playfully teased Aamir Khan as they posed for the shutterbugs. Speaking to paparazzi at the red carpet of the event, Salman said, “Isne story nahi bataayi na picture ki? Isne mere ko bulaya tha ye subject dekhne ke liye… main chala gaya mujhe bahut achi lagi picture… maine haan bhi keh di… mere ko phone aata hai ki, ‘main kar raha hu picture (He didn’t even tell me the story of the film, right? He just called me to see the subject… so I went, and I really liked the film… I even said yes. Then I get a call saying, ‘I’m doing the film’.”
He further added, “Maine itni tareef kari thi picture ki ki Aamir bola, ‘main phaad dunga iss picture mein’…it’s outstanding (I praised the film so much that Aamir said, ‘I’ll kill it in this film’… it’s outstanding.)”
Teasing Aamir, Salman said, “Isne bhi bola mere ko bhi ye picture bahut achi lagi par uss waqt ye kaam nahi kar raha tha, uss waqt thoda sa load tha… scripting… paperwork pe kaam chal raha tha iska uss waqt (He also said that he liked the film a lot too, but at that time, he wasn’t working on it, there was a bit of a load on him… the scripting and paperwork were in progress at that time).”
Aamir too jumped in and said, “Aisa ho sakta ki wo haan bole aur main beech mein aaun? (Can it happen that he agrees and I end up being part of it?)”
