Did you know Akshay Kumar had auditioned to star alongside Aamir Khan in movie but got rejected?

Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan have starred together in any movie despite their massive stardom. However, fans could have had seen them together had the Khiladi star was selected for a role in Aamir Khan's movie.

The 1992 superhit movie Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar saw Aamir in the lead role while Deepak Tijori played the main antagonist. Surprisingly, Akshay had auditioned for the character of the main antagonist but unfortunately was rejected by director Mansoor Khan. In fact, Akshay had taken the test in Aamir's house.

The shocking revelation was made by choreographer-director Farah Khan, who was the casting director of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, revealed at JIO MAMI 18th Mumbai International Film Festival.

"Mansoor has forgotten that I was the in-charge of casting as well. There were many actors who were tested for this film. Yes, Akshay Kumar had tested for the film and Nagma was already fixed for the movie. Akshay had given the test in Aamir's garden," Mid-Day quoted Farah as saying.

Apparently, Aamir wasn't aware of the Good Newzz star's audition and hence expressed shock at Farah's revelation at the event. It was then that Farah said, "It wasn't your role, but Deepak Tijori's" adding that Mansoor had rejected Akshay.
