As Aamir Khan gears up for the release of Laal Singh Chaddha, the official Bollywood remake of the award-winning Forrest Gump, he joins IMDb for a special episode of “Best Interview Ever”. In this IMDb exclusive video, Khan talks about his career highlights as he reunites with some of the most iconic props from his films, including Lagaan’s winning bat and Crime Master Gogo’s black cape from Andaz Apna Apna.
Over the years, Khan has established himself as a superstar in Indian cinema with his versatility and sheer brilliance. His films that touch upon socio-cultural narratives have put Indian filmmaking on the radar of global audiences, with Lagaan being the first Indian film to release in China nationwide. Since then, many of his movies, including 3 Idiots, PK and Dangal, went on to become major hits in China. Lagaan is also one of only three Indian films to earn an Oscar nomination.
The Laal Singh Chaddha star famously prefers quality over quantity, which has earned him the title of ‘Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood.’ But, Khan shatters the myth behind this tag by revealing that he prefers magic over perfection. “I don’t believe in perfection because I find that beauty lies in imperfection. I don’t think I’m a perfectionist. I think this tag was given to me by the media because I had a very long period in which I didn’t have a film that didn’t work. So, I think they could not figure it out that he hasn’t had a film that hasn’t worked for a long time, and that’s what made them say that I’m perfect. What I really love is magic and a magical moment is much more attractive to me than something that is just perfect.”
