Aamir Khan In & As Guru Dutt?

Guru Dutt, the famous yet enigmatic filmmaker's personal life has held the keys of endless appeal to many new age filmmakers in Bollywood.

The mythic movie maker's son Arun Dutt is also collaborating with Shivendra in getting Guru Dutt's life on celluloid. As for Rakeysh doing his own take on Guru Dutt's life Shivendra shrugs, "It's a free world and Guru Dutt is part of public folklore. Anyone can make a film on his life. Why just Rakeysh, I welcome many others to do the same. There were so many films on the life of Bhagat Singh."

The title Guru Dutt has already been registered. And Shivendra who's the cricket aficionado Raj Singh Durgapur's nephew wants to cast Aamir Khan as Guru Dutt. Apparently, Aamir is also Rakeysh's first choice.

But the scales would be titled in Shivendra's favour because Guru Dutt's family is backing the project. In fact, Aamir is very fond of Guru Dutt's sister Lalita Lajmi who happens to be filmmaker Kalpana Lajmi's mother. Lalita made an appearance in Aamir's Taare Zameen Par.

Cant wait to see Aamir Khan play the charismatic filmmaker!
