Aamir Khan recently opened up about the post-credits scene from Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan where he and Salman Khan have a cheeky conversation about the film industry. Aamir said that many young actors must be upset after seeing that scene. Salman says in the scene, “Humein hi karna padega bhai. Desh ka sawal hai, bachon pe nahi chhod sakte (We have to handle it, brother. It’s about our country; we can’t leave it to the kids)”.
In an interaction with The Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir said, “All the young actors must have gotten really upset, but you can’t even get too upset with Shah Rukh and Salman. Kya kar sakte hai (What can they do?)”
Aamir also reflected upon stardom and said, “I have to say that it isn’t just Salman, Shah Rukh and me who have lasted for 35 years. There’s Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, there have been a lot of actors who have been along with us. So, it’s inaccurate that just three us have been there for 35 years.”
He was last seen in Laal Singh Chadha, an Indian adaptation of the Hollywood film Forrest Gump. The film didn’t do well at the box-office and received mixed reviews from critics who criticized Aamir’s portrayal of the protagonist.
Aamir will be seen next in Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna. It is a spiritual successor to his 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par.
