He added, “They tried very hard, saying they’d pay me whatever I wanted, or help me with any work I needed done. I said I still wouldn’t come. Then they changed their tone and said, ‘Now you have to come because it has been announced there and it’s become a matter of prestige.’ That was the last meeting we had. I told them, ‘You’ve been meeting me for over a month now and I’ve told you from the start that I won’t come. I still won’t come. Lekin aap bahut takatwar log hain, aap jis din chahe aa sakte hain, chahe mujhe peetiye ya sar pe maariye, haath pair bandh ke kahin bhi le jaaiye (But you are very powerful people. If you want, you can come anytime — beat me up, hit me on the head, tie me up and take me wherever you want). You can take me forcibly, but I will not willingly go.’”

Aamir Khan says he was afraid

He revealed that after this, the people never contacted him again. When asked if he was afraid, Aamir said, “Haan darr laga, mere do chhote bacche the, Ammi-Abba jaan bahut pareshan ho gaye the ki yeh bahut khatarnak log hain, aap kya kar rahe hain? Lekin maine unhe ek hi jawab diya tha ki, ‘Main apni zindagi jaise jee raha hoon waise hi jeena chahta hoon aur main nahin jaa raha hoon wahan pe (Yes, I was afraid. I had two young children. My parents were very worried — they asked me why I was doing this when these are such dangerous people. But I gave them only one answer: ‘I want to live my life on my own terms, the way I always have — and I’m not going there’).”

I have a lot of love and respect for Rajini sir. So, I did not even hear the script. When Lokesh told me that it is a Rajini sir’s movie and that he wanted me to do a cameo, I said, ‘Done. I am doing it. Whatever it is, I am doing it.’”
