Aamir says Salman or Akshay better suited for 'Ghajini'

The self effacing, perfectionist Khan may have developed eight pack abs for his role in Ghajini , but he thinks some of his contemporaries could have suited the role better.

At the party to celebrate the film's crossing of Rs 200 crore mark at the box office, Aamir Khan said he was unsure when the film was first offered to him.

"When I was first offered the film, I was skeptic and felt that Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar with a well-built body could do better. But, it was Surya , the lead actor in the Ghajini (Tamil) , who convinced me that only I could do justice to the role. That is how I got the confidence to go ahead," Aamir said.

The actor, who turned director with the critically acclaimed Taare Zameen Par , said when he reads a script he likes to react to it like any movie-goer.

"For me, the feeling that my hard work has been appreciated is priceless as I go by my instinct while choosing a script. When I hear a script, I react as an audience," the actor said during the success party of "Ghajini", which crossed Rs 200 crore worldwide recently.

Aamir said it is difficult to define any film's potential. "I did 'Taare Zameen Par' because I loved the story. I had no idea that it would do the business that it eventually did," Aamir said. The actor, however, admitted that film's success had put him under pressure to deliver better in future.

"Success is not in my hands. I can only follow my heart and work with all the sincerity and hard work that I always do. I would be happy if my next film 3 Idiots breaks all 'Ghajini' records," he said.

Aamir is presently shooting '3 Idiots'.
