Aamir Khan’s take on Amitabh Bachchan’s superstardom is totally correct

Aamir Khan will be sharing screen space with Amitabh Bachchan, for the first time, in YRF’s ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’. Recently, while talking about Big B’s superstardom, Aamir stated that it cannot be recreated

When Aamir was asked if working with Big B was surreal, the actor said, “Watching Mr Bachchan on screen in a theatre… His aura, action, every nuance of his acting was such a fulfilling experience in cinema.”

“I have many favourites like ‘Natwarlal’, ‘Don’ and ‘Namak Halaal’. In fact, I remember after watching ‘Namak Halaal’ in the theatre, I called up Mansoor (Khan) and asked him to come with me to watch the film. We went to watch its next show again,” he added.

Further talking about the megastar’s stardom, he said: “I think the superstardom of Amitabh Bachchan can’t be re-created. It is so unique, the charisma he has….I mean imagine, there was a time when seven of his films were running in the theatre for months. Films like ‘Don’, ‘Mukaddar ka Sikandar’ and ‘Trishul’ in the same year! He used to date clash with his own film!” (Also Read: Aamir Khan justifies why ‘Secret Superstar’ is bigger than ‘Dangal’)
