Bombay Velvet, the next film to be made by Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, will most probably star Aamir Khan in the lead role and not Shah Rukh Khan.

Anurag Kashyap, who is scripting the film, has clarified that they are looking only at Aamir for the lead role and have no plans of approaching Shah Rukh Khan. Anurag believes the role is tailor made for Aamir and they are hoping the 3 Idiots actor will agree to essay it. Anurag will be narrating the script to Aamir in a couple of weeks.

If for some reason Aamir does not agree to the project, Anurag and Danny will consider some other actor, but it will not be Shah Rukh as they believe that he does not suit the character.

Danny had approached Shah Rukh to play the role of the quizmaster in Slumdog Millionaire but Shah Rukh had then turned him down. The role finally went to Anil Kapoor and made him an international star.
