And that's when Aamir came up with the idea of making a movie with Salman, titled Pappu Can't Dance Saala," recalls our source, adding that since they were preoccupied with the launch for Imran, Aamir opted to wait a while after the film's release, before figuring out the concept for Salman.

JTYJN went on to become a big hit, catapulting Imran to instant stardom. However, a few months down the line, when Aamir thought of revisiting his idea of the film with Salman, he learnt it was a little too late in the day.

"One day, while discussing with his team, Aamir brought up the idea of making a film called Pappu Can't Dance Saala with Salman.

That's when someone pointed out to him that the title had already been registered and Saurabh Shukla was making a rom-com with Vinay Pathak and Neha Dhupia," says our source. He adds that on hearing this, Aamir aborted his plans of making the musical.
