Aamir Khan Reveals He Has Not Seen Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan And Jawan
Last Updated: Aamir Khan also revealed which of Salman Khan's films are his favourite. Aamir Khan recently attended an event for his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par, where he discussed Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's best works, according to his taste. Aamir revealed that he liked early SRK films like DDLJ, and that he hasn't watched his newer movies like Jawan and Pathaan. As for Salman, Aamir picked two films from different genres. Aamir Khan said, 'My favourite performances of Salman's are Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dabangg. As for Shah Rukh, I really loved Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is one of my favourite films of his. I haven't seen his recent films Pathaan and Jawan." Sometime ago, Aamir teased that there might be a film with the three Khans together. He had said, 'Salman, Shah Rukh, and I would love to work together… We are waiting for the right script to come. I think the audience also wants to see us together, and we have discussed it as well. If any good story comes (our way), we will definitely do it." As for Aamir Khan's own work, his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par, is facing controversy as fans have learnt that the film could be a 'frame-by-frame" copy of Champions, the English remake of the Spanish film, Campeones. Amid this row, Aamir Khan appeared on Raj Shamani's podcast and defended the idea of making remakes in Bollywood. Aamir Khan said, 'Laal Singh (Chaddha) ke baad, mujhe bohot logo ne bola ki aap phir remake bana rahe ho. Laal Singh mein bohot aapko trolling hui thi, ki aapne remake banayi, remake banayi. Lekin kya hai, main thoda pagal type ka aadmi hun, practical cheezein mujhe samajh mein nahi aati." He added, 'Mujhe koi problem nahi hai remake karne mein. Mujhe nahi lagta hai meri creativity kum ho rahi hai, at all. Kyunki main apne liye toh naya kaam kar raha hun. Kisi aur ne yeh kahani banayi hai, ab main isko apna nazariya de raha hun." Aamir Khan explained, 'Shakespeare ko main dobara kar raha hun, usmein apni jaan main daal raha hun. Toh remakes ka yeh jo discussion hai naa, yeh mujhe bohot fizool lagta hai. Aur isme main believe hi nahi karta hun." For the unversed, the trailer for Aamir Khan's film was released recently, and netizens quickly recognised that the scenes were the same as those of the English-language film. Champions is available for viewing on JioHotstar. The film's synopsis on the site reads, 'A disgraced coach mentors a team of intellectually disabled athletes, revealing their surprising abilities and changing his own life." The plot is similar to what is hinted at in Sitaare Zameen Par's trailer. First Published:
