The jealous star claims TZP was originally his film!
Aamir Khan's 'Taare Zameen Par' has already had enough controversies regarding its director. Amol Gupte had earlier claimed that it was his movie which Aamir took credit for.
If this wasn't enough, now Akshaye Khanna claims that the movie was supposed to be offered to him but Aamir liked the script so much that he didn't let go of the opportunity.
Akshaye revealed in front of me, "I was shooting in Mehboob Studios two years back when I came to know that Aamir was shooting in the same premises. I then decided to go and meet him as we never have the time to meet each other. That time Aamir mentioned that his friend Amol Gupte had a wonderful script and was dying to meet me. But I won't let him meet you. I was left stunned. Aamir then revealed to me that he liked the script so much that he decided to work on the film. He added that the script was fantastic and he was keen on working it."
Looks like Aamir is making it a habit of getting into everyone's bad books. As if angering Big B and SRK wasn't enough for him!
By the way, Aamir and Akshaye have had a good rapport with each other for quite some time now. They have worked together in the blockbuster 'Dil Chahta Hai' as well. But God alone knows what the status of their 'friendship' will be like after this newest revelation!
Although Akshaye was pretty diplomatic about the whole situation, his jealousy was more than obvious. During his interaction with me he admitted to this fact.
He said, "When I watched the film I was proud of Aamir. He's really made a good film. But I have no regrets that I was not asked to do the film but yes I felt a bit jealous".
With crappy movies like 'Mere Baap Pehle Aap' to his credit, Akshaye hardly has any other choice!
