After Shahid Kapoor (read article), Aamir Khan has hit out at actors in the industry who give out inflated box office numbers.
During a promotional campaign of his upcoming film PK, Aamir said "Its childish. I think that for some reason various people in the film industry feel that by inflating their figures they would convince people."
"Nowadays you get to buy editorial in number of newspapers which is extremely unfortunate. So what happens is that I can buy editorial and say ,'Mera itna dhanda hua ya utna hua' (Say my film has earned this much). But its meaningless because when you go home you know how much business the film has done. Even the industry knows exactly how much each film has done. So the market knows, you can't fool the market. You can try and fool people but how many times will you fool people also. Ultimately you are just fooling yourself."
Aamir went on to add that he is one of those actors who is strictly against the idea of giving out inflated figures, something that he claims he hasn't done for any of his films so far "I am one of the people who strictly doesn't give out figures which are inflated" the actor added.
Aamir holds the record for the highest grosser in the industry. His last release Dhoom 3 went on to collect Rs 283 crore in India and more than Rs 500 crore (gross) overseas. He was also the founder' of the 100 crore and 200 crore clubs. The trade expects his upcoming film PK' to be the first to cross Rs 300 crore in India.
