With Aamir Khan starrer 'Dangal' taking the Box Office by the storm, the actor's success rate is at an all-time high with films like 'PK', '3 Idiots', 'Lagaan', et al. to his credits. Talking about success, Aamir says that he doesn't pick films because he thinks they will perform well business wise, but instead, listens to his heart while signing on the dotted lines.
Ask about Aamir's favourite film, in an interview with IANS, the actor reveals, "All the films that I have done are very close to me and I don't measure my films based on their business. Taare Zameen Par' is as close to me as 'Dangal'. So are 'PK', '3 Idiots' and 'Lagaan'. I can't differentiate between any one of them. All are equally important to me."
After 'Dangal' broke all records, does the actor feel pressurised to now be consistent with his streak? "No. I don't feel that kind of pressure. I follow my heart as far as creative decisions go... As to what I am going to do next. It's never affected by the success of my previous films. My choice of films is dictated by my emotional interest in the story and my creative interest," adds Aamir.
Talking about working with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Thugs Of Hindostan', Aamir was quick to quip, "I am most excited to work with Amitabh Bachchan for the first time. It is a dream come true. I've always been his huge fan."
Talking about 'Secret Superstar' that is up for release next, Aamir added, "My next film is 'Secret Superstar'. It's about a 14-year-old girl. She is the central character. I love the story. It's a beautiful story," he said about the film that traces the journey of an aspiring singer named Insia."
Further throwing light on if whether 'Secret Superstar' will do as much business as 'Dangal', Aamir concluded saying, "I have no idea. I had no idea that 'Taare Zameen Par' would be a huge success either. I did it because of the story or even 'Dangal'... It's not a conventional mainstream story. It's about an old man who has grey hair, daughters and no romance... A story about a family and wrestling. It's not a conventional kind of a film. Who knew it would do this kind of business?"
