Chiranjeevi reveals why he chose Salman Khan over Aamir Khan for cameo role in Godfather, watch

On July 24, Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi unveiled the Telugu trailer of Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha at an event in Hyderabad. Actor Naga Chaitanya who is making his Bollywood debut with the film was also present there. At the event, Chiranjeevi reveals why he didn’t approach Aamir Khan and chose Salman Khan for a cameo role in his upcoming Telugu film Godfather.

Aamir said that he is a huge fan of Chiranjeevi and also said that he’d like to return the favour by working in one of his projects if there’s any opportunity. It was Aamir who asked the actor why he didn’t approach him for the cameo but took Salman Khan for it. Mr Perfectionist said, “You see I was telling Chiranjeevi garu that ‘please allow me to do something for you’. Then he said, ‘I will call you’. And two days later, he told me that, ‘I was shooting with Salman (Khan) and he was telling me something about the movie’. Then I asked him, ‘You didn’t call me. You call Salman?,” To which the Acharya actor said, “The role was not about heart and brain, it was about physicality. So we opted for Salman.”
