Aamir refused to play villain in ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshi’ says Dibakar

Director Dibakar Banerjee has said that his first-choice to play the role of a villain in his upcoming film ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy’, was none other than Aamir Khan.

After the script was narrated to him, Aamir refused the film saying ‘may be not this one’.

“I was trying to make this film about two years ago and at that time I was looking for a villain who can give competition to Byomkesh and can also attract the audience.. So, we went to Aamir and gave the narration to him but he passed the film and said ‘may be not this one’. Later on I came to know that he is doing ‘Dhoom 3’ in a villainous role” Banerjee told reporters at an event to launch the second trailer of the film yesterday.

“I think if YRF gained something (with Dhoom 3), then it lost something as well (Aamir refusing Detective Byomkesh Bakshi)” he added.

Interestingly, the villain in the film has been kept under wraps.
