"If I was interested in money, I would be doing 4 films a year": @aamir_khan #TalkingFilms

Did Dangal actor Aamir Khan take an indirect jibe at Akshay Kumar?

Aamir Khan said he is not interested in box office figures of his movies, but he is interested about audience's response.

Aamir Khan has been receiving all round applause for his performance in Dangal as the movie has been praised by critics and performing excellently at the box office. However, Aamir recently said something that appears to be an indirect jibe at Akshay Kumar.

Dangal review: It will make you laugh, cry and then blow whistles in the theatre

Aamir is known for coming up with just one movie a year that creates all the box office records. However, the actor said that he is not interested in the monetary aspects of his movies, but the audience's response is most important for him.

d in money. "I am least interested in the business side of it (movie). Basically, I am a creative person and for me the intensity of love for my work is more important than the numbers. If I was interested in money, I would be doing four films a year and 10 ads that I don't do," the Dangal actor told Bollywood Hungama.

"It would not matter what I say, but it would matter what my actions are. So, if money was what important to me, I would be leading a totally different life. So, for me what is really important is how much I enjoy my work and how much my audience enjoys my work," he added.

Now, Aamir's remark on doing four films a year seems to be an indirect pinch to Akshay as the latter is one of the few big Bollywood stars with four to five movies a year. Akshay was seen in three box office hits in 2016 -- Airlift, Housefull 3 and Rustom

Akki is Manoj Kumar # 2
Aamir Khan is Tom Hanks of India

To be fair to Akki, he tries to balance it out with a mix of good and bad movies in a year.😛
Airlift was very good, Rustom was fair and HF3 was total CRAP! 😆

Correction to this article, Aamir does one movie in 2 yrs! 😆

I'm surprised he gives interviews. Why not just let your work speak for itself instead of taking jibes at others. Nothing wrong with doing more or less as long as you enjoy what you're doing. Also, he can shun money but at the end of the day, almost everyone aims for financial security.

way to go aamir not interested in business and making sure audience (ur fans) enjoy your work! 👏 no wonder aamir's movies do so well! they are always unique and different! glad aamir is no businessman and actually passionate about making movies and making sure audience enjoys his work! as a result his movies do extremely well and he is one of the highest paid actors in the country 😃

Lol ..It might not be a jibe but Chor ke Daadi main Tinka wali baat ho gayi bhai 😆 😆 😆 😆

Anyways ,Aamir's work do the talking. Look at Dangal and the work he put into it unlike his contemporaries.His work has always been superior. For 2 min sequence he changed his whole look.
he let the girls shine and took a backseat in the film.

This Scene in particular where he walks behind the girls.
