So this is why working in the west doesn’t interest Aamir Khan

Superstar Aamir Khan, who is busy with his upcoming film ‘Dangal‘ has recently revealed that he is not much interested in International projects. The actor was of a view that unlike his peers Irrfan Khan, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, he has never liked the scripts that were offered to him.

Speaking at a discussion panel, The Indian Futurescape, Aamir Khan said, “Working in the west doesn’t interest me particularly. What interests me is a good film. It should be a film that touches my heart and I feel I can perform in. Where the film is made is irrelevant. There have been number of offers to me from Hollywood but I did not like the scripts.”

He further added that, “Why I don’t feel like doing that (work in the west) is because I feel I have an emotional connection with my audience, with the people of this country. It is a relationship that we have built over 27 years, something that I value a lot. I don’t want to leave my audience behind. I will not be happy doing that. These are my people, we belong to each other. If I go to some other place and strange people react to my movie I may not feel the same. Emotionally, I would rather work here, if there is an offer from America, China or Japan which excites me I will do it.”

The actor is depicting the role of Mahavir Phogat in upcoming biopic ‘Dangal’. The movie will be releasing in December 2016.
