Vikramaditya Motwane tells Mid-day that the Netflix film AK vs AK starring Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap was written for Aamir Khan. Akshay Kumar and Shahid Kapoor were approached for it, too.

Director Vikramaditya Motwane says AK vs AK was written for Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar was approached for it
The directorial career that Vikramaditya Motwane scripted for himself after Udaan is indisputably marked by a range that`s hard to match - going from a period piece (Lootera) to super-hero (Bhavesh Joshi Superhero), a one-man survivor drama, set in a building, suggesting the dystopia of cities (Trapped), to the ultimate Mumbai-mafia sweeping-epic (Sacred Games), that he was the showrunner for.
