Aamir likes his films
The actor says that he prefers being part of movies that touch all of India and not just the urban audience.
Aamir Khan is all set to make a comeback as producer with his film Peepli Live. Aamir accepts the fact that he likes watching his movies. "I only like my movies, as they are universal. Other people do not believe in making films which are universal anymore. According to me, the only director who caters to the non-multiplex audience is Raju Hirani. Others make cinema only for city dwellers.
While that isn't a bad thing, Bollywood needs to understand that it can play a huge impact in generating knowledge through our films,"says Aamir Khan.
"There is a clear divide between Bharat (Hindustan) and India. If I were to go to Hollywood to earn my living, I would feel much cut off from my roots, my home is India. Filmmakers these days no longer care about rural India," he added.
