Aamir Khan had recently showered praise on Nagraj Manjule’s ‘Jhund’. Now, Amitabh Bachchan has revealed that it was ‘Mr Perfectionist' of Bollywood who had actually convinced him to do the film.
Amitabh had said, “I remember when I discussed that with Aamir; he told me I must do this film. And you know what happens when Aamir endorses something”. Aamir had also added that it would be a perfect collaboration.
Recently, Aamir saw the soul-stirring narrative at a special screening that left him emotionally drained and moved in tears. Praising the film to a leading portal, he had mentioned, “It’s a fantastic film. It's unbelievable. It’s very unique and I don't know how it got made. I got up with a spirit and this film won't leave me. I don't have words because it is a very surprising film. It breaks everything we've learnt in 20-30 years being in the industry.”
Elaborating further, Aamir had added, “Amitabh Bachchan has done tremendous work. He has done great films in his career but this is one of his best films; one of his greatest films.”
T-Series shared a video on its YouTube channel which showed how Aamir got emotional while watching the film. After wiping his tears, he also gave the film a standing ovation.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Aamir is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. The film is an official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film, ‘Forrest Gump’ that originally starred Tom Hanks. The film will also star Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya and Mona Singh in key roles. It is slated to hit the theatres on August 11, 2022.
