Aamir Khan was first choice to play Imran Khan's hero in Break Ke Baad. Shah Rukh Khan now holds that honour

Known fact: Imran Khan plays a diehard Shah Rukh fan in his forthcoming Break Ke Baad, a Kunal Kohli production directed by Danish Aslam.

Another known fact: Imran is related to Aamir Khan and is a real-life fan of Salman Khan two people who love to hate King Khan.

Little known fact: Aamir was the first choice to play the role IK's character hero-worships in the film.

BKB producer Kohli admits as much but adds, "But then, the whole mama-bhanja relationship would've got in the way of the character and the storytelling.

Audiences would get distracted and would've have giggled every time Imran made an Aamir reference." Kunal and his director Danish regretfully dropped the Aamir angle from Break Ke Baad.

Says Kunal, "Aamir and Shah Rukh are both iconic heroes for the generation that Imran and Deepika represent. They're influenced by him and his films as anyone who grew up watching SRK films.

In fact, Deepika plays a wannabe actress, who also makes SRK references.

Shah Rukh's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai are the ultimate romantic films for the current generation. just like Rishi Kapoor and Bobby were for mine."

Imran not only uses SRK's references to make his point, he also has a sequence where he does a take-off on King Khan.

Laughs Kohli, "That's right. Imran does the Main Hoon Na signature hand-over-head movement, with his arms languidly spread out in an ardent expression of love, a la Shah Rukh. It's a signature SRK pose. And Imran did it effortlessly."

Now, let's hope Aamir is sporting enough to join Imran in the SRK signature pose at the premiere of Break Ke Baad.
