Thursday, 5th Mar 2015, 6:17 PM IST Aamir Khan’s performance as an antagonist in ‘Dhoom 3’ was liked by everyone. However, not many know that at the same time the superstar was also offered the negative role in Dibakar Banerjee's 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!'. But, he opted to star in ‘Dhoom 3’. A source said, "Around the same time when Aditya Chopra narrated the story of ‘Dhoom 3’ to Aamir, Dibakar had approached him with his script. Both were challenging, negative roles for two YRF films. He was in a dilemma, but then finally decided to take up the 'Dhoom 3' offer." Dibakar confirmed the news and said, "I wanted to make 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!' after 'Khosla Ka Ghosla'. I was in talks with the studio and we thought the best guy to play the baddie was Aamir. We narrated the script to him. I didn't know that 'Dhoom 3' was on the slate next with Aamir as the villain. He passed on my script. Two years later, we met after the ‘Byomkesh’ teaser released and he said he loved it. I guess YRF's gain was YRF's loss."
