2.0: Aamir Khan finally revealed why he refused to do Rajinikanth's role in Shankar, Akshay Kumar film

The grand audio launch of Shankar's 2.0 is scheduled to be held in Dubai on Friday. Apart from the lead actors, Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson, the star studded event will also be attended by film's music composer and Oscar award winner AR Rahman.

While the music launch of 2.0 is six days away to be held, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan revealed an interesting statement on the Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar film.

In a chat show with trade analyst Komal Nahta, Aamir Khan revealed that Rajinikanth's role was originally offered to him after Thalaivar himself called him and requested to accept the film.

"Rajini sir called and asked me to do 2.0. Shankar came and met me. He narrated the story and I knew it was a super hit film. But every time he narrated the script, I could only imagine Rajini sir doing the lead role because he was already part of it's prequel, Enthiran: The Robot. I had to turn down the offer because I wasn't sure whether I can do complete justice to the role", Aamir Khan said.
