Aamir Khan, during a media interaction, said that he was offered to the role of Sanjay Dutt’s father, late Sunil Dutt, in Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju, but he refused the role. His reason:
“He (Hirani) approached me with the script and I loved it. He wanted me to play Dutt saab’s role. It is a fantastic role and the story is largely on the father-son relationship. But Sanju’s role is unbelievable. So as an actor, I told Raju that Sanjay Dutt’s role is so wonderful that it won my heart. So in this film I can’t do any other role but Sanjay Dutt’s, which of course I cannot do because Ranbir (Kapoor) is playing it. So, do not offer me anything,” Aamir said, as per IANS.
