However, things didn't materialize.

Hirani reveals what stopped Aamir from coming on-board

While talking to a magazine, Hirani said, "Aamir is a friend. Any script I write, I bounce it to him. When I narrated ­'Sanju' to him, he loved it and said 'I should also do something in it'." "Then I said, do this. But he was already doing the role of an elderly man in 'Dangal' (2016) around the same time," Hirani added. That's why he didn't come on-board.
