Ssumier Pasricha, who is best known as Pammi Aunty for his popular videos on the Punjabi gossip queen, was offered a role in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming dwarf film being directed by Aanand L Rai.

A source informs that Ssumier, who bears a strong resemblance to King Khan in terms of looks like the face cut, eyes and the beard, was approached to play SRK’s brother. In fact, his pictures where he looks like Shah Rukh had gone viral on the internet, some time ago. So much so, that his pictures could even pass off as SRK’s! “Ssumier was very excited about sharing screen space with SRK, whom he admires. However, when he heard the role, he realised that there was nothing much for him to do in it and so turned it down. The actor last seen in Sasural Simar Ka is clear that when he does a film, big or small, he will do it only if he gets a meaty role. So, he will to wait for the right opportunity. He, however, is disappointed that he had to let go of a film with Shah Rukh.”
