In the world of showbiz many factors can influence the cinematic success of a film. From the strong storyline direction to the production cost many variables are important to decide if the will make it or break it at the office. However out of all the other elements the most important decision is the casting. The cast of the film can hold a paramount role in drawing a massive audience. They are the face of the character; therefore their style personality and performance can influence how the film will be perceived. Imagine your favourite film with a different cast. Wouldnt that change the entire perspective of the film in your mind? One such example of this is a film that had a casting re-shuffle and finally it fell into the lap of the one whose destiny was tied to it. This cult classic film is Darr. It featured the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan and was directed by the celebrated filmmaker Yash Chopra. The film was both commercially and critically acclaimed and redefined the career of Shah Rukh Khan. But before him Aamir Khan was supposed to play his part; however that couldnt materialise. Recently during the promotion of his upcoming project Sitare Zameen Par Aamir Khan spoke about his exit from the film Darr. Clearing his part Aamir said I did not say no to Darr. I was fired. He further shared that he wanted a joint narration since it was a two-hero film. My principle is when there are two actors the director has to give a joint narration. Yash ji did not want to give a joint narration. He fired me. Everyone has their own way of working. I think when two people are working together they should listen to the narration together so we can work together as a team.” He further spoke about his belief that when two actors are together in a film they both should listen to the script together. That didn’t happen in Darr so I was fired. I was removed from Darr” he shared. Aamir Khan spoke about a similar incident that happened during Andaz Apna Apna with Salman Khan. He said Salman cancelled the narration three times. His secretary was there he said Salman will listen you guys listen later. I said I will listen when Salman listens. Unfortunately this way of working didnt sit well with Yash Chopra ;therefore he was pulled out. Mr perfectionist of Bollywood is once again taking over headlines as she is all geared up for his new release of Sitare Zameen Par. The film is directed by RS Prasanna. The film also stars Genelia Deshmukh. It will hit the theatres on June 20th 2025
