Aamir Khan turns 53, wants to work with Bachchan

Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan, who turned 52 on Tuesday, says he is looking forward to work with Amitabh Bachchan in Thugs of Hindostan this year.

“At this time, I am looking forward to work with Amitabh Bachchan for my next film. This is going to be a very special experience for me,” said Khan.

There have also been rumours that Khan will feature as astronaut Rakesh Sharma in a soon-to-be-made biopic.

“Currently, I am only working on Thugs of Hindostan and shooting will start from July. I did not sign any other film,” he clarified.

Asked about nepotism in Bollywood, Khan said, “I keep emotion out of workplace. But yes, I always try to help my loved ones and people I care for.”

The actor, who once courted controversy for his comment on intolerance in India, also spoke on freedom of expression in India.

“I have always been conscious about expressing my opinion. And I will always be. But that does not mean I will not talk about issues. I will just be conscious,” said the Dangal star, who has been in the industry for close to three decades.
