Amitabh Bachchan in the upcoming film
Thugs of Hindostan, says watching the
megastar on the big screen is "a fulfilling
experience, and his superstardom can't be
re-created.
Asked if working with Big B was surreal,
Aamir, an admirer of the veteran actor, told
media here on Sunday: "Watching Mr
Bachchan on screen in a theatre... His aura,
action, every nuance of his acting was such
a fulfilling experience in cinema.
Picking his favourite from Amitabh's
filmography is a tough one for Aamir.
"I have many favourites like Natwarlal,
Don and Namak Halaal. In fact, I remember
after watching Namak Halaal in the theatre,
I called up Mansoor (Khan) and asked him
to come with me to watch the film. We
went to watch its next show again.
Aamir Khan Calls Working With Amitabh
Bachchan A Fulfilling Experience
Talking about Big B's stardom, he said: "I
think the superstardom of Amitabh
Bachchan can't be re-created. It is so
unique, the charisma he has...I mean
imagine, there was a time when seven of
his films were running in the theatre for
months.
"Films like Don, Mukaddar ka Sikandar and
Trishul in the same year! He used to date
clash with his own film!
As times are changing, and social media
culture is playing an important role in
building the public image of Bollywood film
stars, Aamir says the definition of stardom
has also changed.
"The fabric has changed. There was a time
when access to a star was so limited,
especially in the 1950s-60s era when there
was no television, and fans used to wait for
their stars to appear in cinema or a film's
premiere. They used to wait outside
houses.
