Aamir Khan’s Big B-lunder

In February this year, Bhansali had appeared on Koffee With Karan along with Mallika Sherawat. During the rapid fire round when he was asked who he thought was the most overrated director, he had immediately answered back – Kunal Kohli and further added that Kohli's Fanaa was a bad film.

While the Fanaa maker had sarcastically commented back saying, it is important that the public has liked the film. Whether X, Y or Z doesn't like it, it really doesn't matter or change my life in any way. The film has been made, it has been successful, and I have moved on."

Months later, with his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par release around the corner, a media recluse, Aamir started giving out interviews in support of Kohli and hit back at Bhansali for criticizing Fanaa by disparaging the bearded director's Amitabh – Rani starrer. His comments were directly aimed at Bhansali's failure of handling a sensitive subject that involved a handicap child as an important character.

But in his attempt to get back at SLB, Aamir ended up hurting the Big B when he commented about the lead cast's performance in Black being over the top. Bachchan Sr. had immediately retorted – "I cannot comment whether my performance was towering or not, but Aamir may be right - maybe the performances did go 'over the top' of his head."

An annoyed Bachchan had also further stated that if Aamir was unhappy with the handling of the film, let him demonstrate otherwise and that he (Big B) would be keen and anxious to educate himself on any prospective change that Aamir might introduce to cinema.

The Rang De Basanti star is now keen on clearing the mess out by taking an appointment with Big B but as of now there is no such willingness being shown by the ageing superstar.

Kunal Kohli preferred to remain out of this and did not reply to our messages or phone calls to comment in this regard.
