The film which marked as a big breaking point in Saif's career Omkara, was initially offered to Aamir Khan. Director Vishal Bhardwaj revealed that it was Aamir who indulged him to direct Omkara, which is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello.

However, Aamir Khan could not sign the film, and Vishal moved on with Saif Ali Khan, who played as the perfect Langda Tyagi in the flick.

Well, Aamir's lose is a big gain for Saif Ali Khan!
