India Today Entertainment Desk Actor Aamir Khan opened up on his decision to endorse sports betting app He spoke about making exceptions to his principles based on quality scripts The actor justified endorsing brands that sell legal products Actor Aamir Khan recently addressed fans' reactions over featuring in a sports betting app advertisement. The actor clarified that his professional decisions are influenced by the quality of scripts in the brand endorsements. Aamir, while defending the artistic liberty to endorse legal products, in an interview with Zoom said, "I have refused alcohol and tobacco. Recently, I did Dream 11 so people asked me that you are doing Dream 11, you refused alcohol, tobacco." "But the script for Dream 11 was so good. I couldn't say no to it," he added. The actor further said, "I laughed so much after I read that ad. I was certain that I wanted to do it. As for the product, if it is illegal then ban it, then we won't make any ads on it. And if it's legal then let me do it too." The 'Sitaare Zameen Par' actor reflected on his association with brands and how he only makes exceptions to his principles if he sees creativity in the idea.

He further said, "Once, I broke that rule and spoke about price as well. This was during 'Chota Coke' for Rs 5 because I really liked its story. It was so creative that I compromised." Aamir will next be seen in his home-production 'Sitaare Zameen Par', directed by RS Prasanna. The film is a remake of the Spanish sports-drama 'Champions' (2018).
