I loved the concept and said yes, then came a call that he’s doing the film himself.)” With a poker face and smirk, he added, “Maine itni tareef kari thi picture ki Aamir bola, ‘Main phaad dunga iss picture mein.’”Salman and Aamir’s friendship goes way back, so he didn’t hold back from throwing a playful dig at Aamir’s personal life, saying even Aamir liked the film but couldn’t commit due to other things. “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.” For the unversed, Aamir and Kiran Rao divorced in 2021 after 16 years of marriage.
