Aamir was offered 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', he suggested Salman's name

Actor Salman Khan in a recent press conference to celebrate the success of his latest movie 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' revealed that he wasn't the first choice for it. Apparently, K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, father of director S.S. Rajamouli, who penned the initial script, had approached Aamir Khan with the script. Though Aamir Khan was impressed with the script he wanted the writer to make a few tweaks. But Mr. Prasad refused to do so. Aamir Khan then suggest that he approach Salman Khan with it. "Yes, Aamir told me that Prasad had come to him and he sent him to me. So this is just Aamir sahab's generosity," Salman said. The report said Hrithik Roshan was the next one to be approached. He liked the script but felt that it was expensive. Salman eventually heard it and instantly gave him the signing amount.
