Never felt competitive with Salman, SRK: Aamir

WHILE ONE OF the superstars of Bollywood Salman Khan suggested another superstar Shah Rukh Khan to hear the script of the upcoming film Zero, it is no secret that Aamir Khan suggested Shah Rukh’s name to Rakesh Sharma’s biopic which will start shooting next year. According to Aamir, such exchanges happen because he does not feel competitive with any of his contemporaries.

“I am not a competitive person and I never felt competitive with Salman and Shah Rukh,” Aamir told the media in an interview.

He also shared how he suggested Shah Rukh’s name for the Rakesh Sharma biopic because he genuinely felt that he is the best fit for the film.

“Yes, I heard the script (of Rakesh Sharma’s biopic) and I loved it really! It is true that I called up Shah Rukh and said that he should listen to the story. I am glad that he also loved it and finally said yes.”

Since Aamir shares a close bond with Shah Rukh, he openly admitted that as an actor and friend, he really admires Shah Rukh Khan.

“I see him as a star, I am not a star. He is handsome, charming, well dressed... you know I went to his house and he took me to show his wardrobe. I think his wardrobe is as big as my whole house!,” laughed the Dangal star.

On Osho Project

Shakun Batra has started working on his film based on the life of Osho, the spiritual leader Rajneesh, and has spoken to Aamir about the project.

Asked if Shakun, the Kapoor & Sons director, had discussed the project with him, Aamir said: “Yes, he has (discussed the project on Osho), but I am waiting to hear the script.”

Aamir, who is quite excited about his upcoming film Thugs Of Hindostan, shares screen space with Amitabh Bachchan for the first time in the film.
