Superstar Aamir Khan, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming production venture Secret Superstar, stated that his friend and contemporary Shah Rukh Khan is a wonderful storyteller. He added that he likes to hear King Khan and also called him an entertaining person. Comparing himself with SRK, Aamir said that he is more curious.<\/p>\n
“I have sat with Shah Rukh many times. He is a very entertaining person to sit with. He is wonderful in telling stories. I love listening to him. I think between him and me, I am more curious because I like to hear him talk.<\/p>\n
“I like the way he narrates his stories. He really brings the moment alive. He is a wonderful storyteller and there is a great fun in listening to him,” Aamir said in an interview here.<\/p>\n
The “Dangal” actor is currently busy promoting his upcoming production “Secret Superstar”, in which he plays a flamboyant music composer.<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old actor said there are “real people who exist” like his character, but he is nowhere close to him.<\/p>\n
“Why it is a tough role for me is because I have to feel like that character. When he is full of himself, I must feel ‘I am the best.’ It should come from within, which doesn’t normally come to me. I am always questioning my work.<\/p>\n
“My natural instinct is to be critical of myself whereas this guy is not at all. He is sure that he is the best, no question about it,” he said.<\/p>\n
Aamir also refuted the rumours that the character is inspired by music composer Anu Malik.<\/p>\n
“You may see glimpses of people but it’s not modelled on any one person. It’s not inspired by any one.”<\/p>\n
Written and directed by Advait Chandan, “Secret Superstar” chronicles the story of a child, played by Zaira Wasim, who aspires to be a singer. The film reunites Aamir and Wasim post their blockbuster Dangal.<\/p>\n
While both the movies talk about women empowerment, “Secret Superstar is a bigger film than ‘Dangal’, he says.<\/p>\n
“The difference is, in Dangal the lead character is still a man. It is Mahavir’s dreams that we are seeing getting fulfilled. It is when he decides, not son but my daughter can also do it. It’s his decision, not the daughter’s.<\/p>\n
“In Secret Superstar, it is driven by a female character, a 14-year-old girl in Vadodara. While ‘Dangal’ talks to the parents, trying to tell them not to differentiate between a girl and a boy child, this film talks to the teenagers,” Aamir said.<\/p>\n
Secret Superstar is scheduled to release on October 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
