Thugs of Hindostan actor Aamir Khan recently remarked that he is not competitive. The actor also added that he never felt a competition with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
Aamir Khan is all
set to enthrall the audience as Firangi in YRF’s Thugs of Hindostan. Also starring Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and
Fatima Sana Sheikh, the film will release on November 8.
Ahead
of the release, the Dangal actor invited journalists to his home for an
interaction. Dressed in a magenta coloured kurta, the actor looked radiant and
young. Apart from his upcoming project, Aamir also talked about the Rakesh
Sharma biopic, Saare Jahan Se Achha. As confirmed by producer Ronnie Screwvala,
Shah Rukh Khan has stepped in after Aamir opted out.
When
asked why he did not take up the biopic, Aamir smiled to say, “I don’t talk
about projects that I don’t do. It’s a long story but I had few commitments
owing to which I couldn’t do it.”
While the actor did not want to further comment on the film,
when prodded if he had suggested Shah Rukh’s name for it, he said, “It is a
great script. And I loved it. The story of Mr. Sharma is really fascinating. It
is true that I called up Shah. I told him he should hear the script, as it is
fantastic. I knew if he liked it, it will be the right film for him. And I am
glad he liked the script and he is doing it.” Aamir also added that he had
discussed his reasons for not taking up the project with SRK.
The conversation soon steered towards the growing trend of
actors suggesting each other for projects. At the trailer launch of Zero, SRK
had confessed that Salman had called him up to hear the script of Zero. As a
journalist asked if competition is slowly changing into making better films,
Aamir said, “I am certainly not competitive. And I have not felt that with Shah
Rukh and Salman ever.”
At the trailer launch, SRK had even spoken about how he
always feels like a loser. He had also shared that Aamir once asked him why he
feels so, and while conversing with him, Shah Rukh realised that Aamir too
feels the same way. When indianexpress.com shared the same with the 3 Idiots
actor, he laughed out heartily and said, “And you all believed him?”
He then added, “I don’t think he meant it that way. So, I
honestly don’t see myself a star. But he (SRK) is indeed one. Everything about
him is so good. So handsome, charming, well-dressed. I was forced by my team to
dress well today (showing off his kurta), or else I was in my tee and track
pants.”
Going down memory lane, he shared, “I remember I visited his
home and he showed his wardrobe to me. I was amazed. My entire house is the
size of his wardrobe. It was so well-organised. That day I realised, yeh hota
hai star ka ghar (this is how a star lives).”
