Was Aamir Khan all set to do a 'Rustom'? Here's what we know so far

New Delhi: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar's 'Rustom' is going strong at the Box Office. Akki's performance and storyline of the film are being appreciated to the core by cinema lovers. But, did you guys know that superstar Aamir Khan was also keen on making a film on the infamous KM Nanavati case? 

“Aamir was very eager to do a film on the case. He was collaborating with director Ram Madhvani on the same. After the director helmed the true-life account in 'Neerja' effectively, Aamir felt Madhvani was the best filmmaker to piece together the intricate jigsaw pieces of the real-life Nanavati case,” DNA quoted a source as saying.

Apparently, the 51-year-old actor even met Nanavati’s widow Sylvia regarding the same.

It added, “yes, they met Mrs Nanavati. And she was enthusiastic about the project. After all, Aamir, who is known to be a superstar with a conscience, was doing it.”

The report further mentions that they dropped the project as soon as Akshay's 'Rustom' was announced.

Well, it would have been really interesting to watch Mr Perfectionist's take on the Nanavati case on-screen.
