Mumbai, Nov 22 (PTI) Raju Hirani, director of '3 Idiots' says his lead actor Aamir Khan was worried to be a part of the film because he did not fit the age group.

"I wanted four 20-year-olds for the main characters and spent at least six months hunting for the new talent. I required competent actors because the roles were intense where the comic and emotional talents would be put to test," Hirani told PTI in an interview.

But the director, best known for his cult series 'Munnabhai', says he could not find the perfect casting for his film and in the end decided to settle for competent and established actors like Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi.

"The competent actors had to look young so we got the best -- Aamir," the director says.
