Actor-turned filmmaker Sanjay Kapoor, who is busy with his film It’s My Life, says he roped in Hurman Baweja for the lead role instead of Aamir Khan because the senior actor would not have fitted the character of a young boy.”You should be looking at what is your story trying to tell. For It’s My Life’, the role required a young boy. Now obviously Aamir Khan wouldn’t have fitted in there. Similarly for the role of a father, I needed someone whose mere presence bears a commanding authority. Of course there was no other choice but Nana Patekar,” Sanjay told IANS.
