Interestingly, despite being one of the biggest names in the film industry, Aamir revealed that he rarely watches films at all. “I started making films when I was 18,” he explained. “I started working as an assistant. I don’t want to sound condescending, but as a joke, I like to say that some people play football and others watch football. That’s a good way to put it. I make films, and I hardly watch them.”
This is the truth of the answer. I hardly watch movies. So I don’t watch the latest movies. I have no idea what’s going on in Hollywood. I’m in my own world; I don’t really watch things.”On the professional front, Aamir was last seen in Happy Patel and also made a brief appearance in Vir Das’s directorial debut. Looking to the future, he has an exciting list waiting for him. His production venture Ek Din, featuring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, is slated to release on May 1, followed by Lahore 1947 in August.
