While I agree that he is looking for support from south, specifically Rajmouli, I don’t think he just called them up a few weeks ago and they all agreed. He’s been going down south and interacting with their stars and media for at least a year now. Long before the Pushpa and RRR craze up north. Let’s not forget also that Aamir is someone with incredible filmography not just as an actor but also a producer. I’m willing to bet all these guys who agreed to watch LSC didn’t just do Aamir Khan the star a favor but also Aamir Khan the producer of Dangal and Lagaan. Aamir has credibility as an artist and this isn’t strictly transactional meeting. It’s a gathering of artists who respect each other’s work.
that is the transactional aspect
nobody is questioning his filmography or the fact that they like his work , but just calling the happening directors of the moment was probably not the way to go, given he has been interacting he could have easily invited few more he knows if its was an artists excahnge
it is transactional in a way, aamir publicised RRR a few months and rajamouli will do it just as he is doing for brahmastra
transactional doesnt rule out respecting the others work but definetly it is not purely artistic exchange
