Actor-turned filmmaker Sanjay Kapoor, who is busy with his film'It's My Life', says he roped in Hurman Baweja for the lead role instead ofAamir Khan because the senior actor would not have fitted the character of ayoung boy

"You should be lookingat what is your story trying to tell. For 'It's My Life', the role required ayoung boy. Now obviously Aamir Khan wouldn't have fitted in there. Similarlyfor the role of a father, I needed someone whose mere presence bears acommanding authority. Of course there was no other choice but NanaPatekar," Sanjay told us.

ConsideringHurman has seen back-to-back failures in 'Victory' and 'Love Story 2050', doesSanjay have a sense of regret for his choice of leading actor in the film?

"Why shouldI have looked elsewhere when Genelia was just so perfect in the original film'Bommarillu'. The moment I saw her in the film, I didn't look elsewhere anddecided there and then that she would be my leading lady in 'It's My Life' too",Sanjay said.
