Amir Khan plays an essential role in SRK's Movie

New Delhi : No, Aamir Khan did not star in Swades, but did you know it was the Dangal actor who was on the sets of Shah Rukh Khan's movie on Day 1 and it was he who snapped the clapboard for Swades? The critically acclaimed movie, which scored two National Awards, clocked 13 years on Sunday, prompting director Ashutosh Gowariker to share two unreleased photographs from the 'Muhurat Day.' Surprisingly, Aamir Khan features in the photos - in one of them he poses with the director and Shah Rukh, and in the other, he can be seen snapping the clapperboard while the director and his wife Sunita Gowariker stand by.

'#13YearsOfSwades' featured on Twitter trends all of Sunday. "Thank you for your immense LOVE and REMEMBERING #13YearsOfSwades. Here are a couple of really special UNRELEASED stillls from the Mahurat Day! @aamir_khan @iamsrk #SunitaGowariker Also, my experience of #1YearOfTwitter has been EXCEPTIONAL!!
