After the release of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in 2021, which turned out to be a disappointment at the box office, Aamir Khan has taken a step back from the film industry. Fans have been eagerly waiting to see him back on the silver screen. Their anticipation is set to culminate this Christmas as he is gearing up for the release of his new film ‘Sitare Zameen Par’ in December. Amidst this buzz, let’s delve into a captivating anecdote about the versatile actor Aamir Khan.
Aamir Khan’s Unique Working Style
In the film industry, it’s not uncommon for actors to work on multiple films simultaneously. However, Aamir Khan is not one to follow this trend. Interestingly, around the year 2013, he took on the challenge of filming two movies at once, which led to a humorous incident on set.
Aamir’s Fun Encounter with Bhojpuri Dialogue
Aamir has shared a hilarious experience during an interview with Komal Nahta. He disclosed that after a 45-day shoot for ‘PK,’ he was immediately set to shoot the climax for ‘Dhoom 3’ in Switzerland. The transition was more challenging than he anticipated. Aamir recounted a specific scene from ‘Dhoom 3,’ where his character, Sahir, had to yell at Samir (played by him) because they were short on time. The original dialogue was supposed to be straightforward—‘Let’s go, we don’t have much time.’ However, in a mix-up, Aamir ended up delivering the line in Bhojpuri: ‘Samir, hamre paas waqt nahi hai, chalo!’ instead.
Struggling to Get Out of Character
This slip-up led to confusion on set. When the director called for action, Aamir found himself entwined in the character from ‘PK’ and couldn’t detach himself. After the first take fell flat, the director was puzzled about Aamir’s peculiar delivery. It took him several attempts to finally nail the line correctly in character, showcasing just how challenging it can be for actors to transition from one role to another, especially when they are deeply immersed in it.
Aamir’s Discretion about Film Projects
During the interview, Aamir remarked on his approach to sharing information about his film projects. He prefers to keep his shooting schedules and upcoming films under wraps, not discussing them with others in the industry. This habit surprised the director, who thought Aamir’s delivery resembled that of another Aamir Khan classic, ‘Lagaan.’ Little did he know that Aamir was channeling the essence of ‘PK’ in Bhojpuri!
Conclusion
This amusing incident is a testament to Aamir Khan’s dedication to his craft and the challenges that come with it. As fans await his new film ‘Sitare Zameen Par’, this story highlights not only the complexity of an actor’s profession but also Aamir’s inherent ability to adapt and entertain, even when caught in a whirlwind of character transitions. Such behind-the-scenes stories enrich our appreciation for the art of filmmaking and give us a glimpse into the humorous side of the industry.
