Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan today talking to media stated that he was interested in playing role of Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju, the upcoming biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt.

He further said that he denied playing the role that he was offered to play was of late Sunil Dutt but he refused only because he wanted to essay the title character.

Aamir interacted with the media here on Wednesday. Asked if he was offered to play the role of Sunil Dutt, he said: “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.”
