Playing Langda Tyagi in Omkara was a turning point in Saif Ali Khan's Bollywood career, but director Vishal Bhardwaj says it was Aamir Khan who was keen to star in the role initially.
The movie, an adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello, was released in 2006. Bhardwaj says it was Aamir who inspired him to make the movie and he was willing to play the character of Langda Tyagi.
