Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is gearing up for the release of Sikandar, recently engaged with the media as a part of the promotional activities. Salman told ETimes that he was considered to play Aamir Khan`s role in Ghajini but lost the opportunity after remarks made by Pradeep Rawat, who played the titular role and antagonist. For those unversed, Ghajini and Sikandar have been directed by AR Murugadoss.
When Salman was asked about him being considered for Ghajini, the actor replied, I’ve heard it from Pradeep Rawat, who we lovingly call Ghajini. He’s my friend and we have done 4-5 films together. Pradeep said that, ‘AR Murugadoss is disciplined and sincere. How will Salman work? Salman has anger issues.’ He has done 5 movies with me, and he said this. I thought, ‘Okay.’ I never met him after that. If I do, I will certainly ask him - ‘When did I ever get angry at you?’”
