New Delhi:
There was almost an Aamir -Imran moment in Delhi Belly - but not quite. Aamir Khan's sole appearance in his nephew's movies was in an item number of which Imran was not a part. In fact, we've never seen Aamir and Imran together on screen - an oversight that could soon be rectified.
If all goes well, director Rajkumar Hirani of 3 Idiots fame may just manage to pull off the casting coup of casting coups.
It seems Imran's name came up after both Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh reportedly refused to play second fiddle to Aamir Khan in political satire Peekay. Rumour has it that Aamir himself suggested Imran should be cast and, of course, the dutiful nephew was not one to say no.
Mr Hirani's spokesperson has denied any such development but if there is a grain of truth to these rumours Peekay promises to be a double treat for fans of the Khan-daan.
Aamir Khan has guided Imran's career, from launching him into stardom with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na in 2008 to producing critics' favourite Delhi Bellly for him.
