Aamir Khan wouldn’t act in film he directs
Actor says in the past he has had to suffer through films due to issues with its director
Actor Aamir Khan says that if he directs a film, he would not act in it.
He was speaking at the launch of the Mami Film Club on Monday.
“As an actor you tend to trust your director, but in my initial days I have worked with directors where our sensibilities didn’t match,” Khan said.
“So, I suffered throughout the shooting of the film. So, after that I am very careful with the choice of directors that I make... If I would direct a film, I would not act in it,” he added.
The PK star will next be seen on screen in the film Dangal.
Directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, the film will feature Khan in the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, who taught wrestling to his daughters Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat. Geeta was India’s first female wrestler to win at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where she clinched the gold medal (55kg) while Babita won the silver (51kg).
Khan had to put on 95kg to play the part.
Dangal is scheduled to release in the UAE on December 22.
