Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently met up with maverick director Aditya Chopra and they discussed the making of Dhoom 3. The plot of the third part had impressed Aamir, and Aditya offered the villain’s role to the actor.

However, according to the grapevine, Aditya had first offered the same role to his good friend, Shah Rukh Khan. According to a source, Chopra Jr wanted Shah Rukh on board because he felt that only he could lend colour to the malevolent character.

“Previously, this role was offered to SRK but he turned it down for reasons best known to him. It was then that Aamir came into the picture,” said the source. Along with Dhoom 3, Aamir has also been offered another script from Yash Raj Films. It is a romantic film to be made by Yash Chopra but nothing has been decided. Aamir still has to take a call on whether he wants to do the film or not. At present, he has taken a break from work to spend time with his family.
