Aamir: Wasn't aware Talaash was 1st offered to SRK

"I wasn't aware that Talaash was first offered to SRK" - Aamir Khan

Superstar Aamir Khan speaks about Talaash, Kareena Kapoor's marriage, Dhoom 3 and Salman Khan at the music launch of Talaash.

On the absence of Kareena Kapoor:

It is the first time that we are happy with a co-star's (Kareena Kapoor) absence at a launch. I' m really happy for her (referring to her marriage to Saif Ali Khan).

On preparation for the Talaash character:

My role didn't require too much research as in the case of Sarfarosh where I played a cop too. The inputs for this role were different. No role is easy to play. I try to get into the mindset of the character.

On the delay in the release of Talaash:

The film was completed last year in November but we wanted to make a good film. Reema Katgi, my director, took some time in editing. The final product looks good and we have no regrets about the delay.

On playing a cop in Talaash:

I'm not competing with anyone. The cop act by Salman Khan in Dabangg and Ajay Devgn in Singham is far more commercial and colourful. Mine is dark, intense and edgy. After a long time people will get to see suspense drama in Hindi films.

On Talaash being offered to Shah Rukh Khan first…

I wasn't aware that my film was first offered to SRK. I don't keep a tab on the first choice of my films. Maybe I'll ask this question to the filmmakers henceforth.

On working with lady directors…

I have worked with Deepa Mehta (1947 Earth) and my wife Kiran Rao (Dhobi Ghat) earlier. So it's not that I'm working first time with a female director. It doesn't matter if director is a male or female. That he/she is good as a person matters for me. I loved working with Reema. She knows what she wants exactly. She was a big help and guide to me as an actor. I discovered I could completely trust her.

On promotion plans of Talaash:

I'm going to disappear shortly and you people will have to search for me.

On good friend Salman Khan not marrying:

Salman doesn't listen to me. Hope he gets married soon.

On allegations that he banned cell phones on the sets of Dhoom 3:

Who am I to ban cell phones on the sets? Everyone has one today. Don't believe reports. The schedule went off well.

On his talaash in real life:

In life, I'm in search of good work and genuine people.

On allegations that he banned cell phones on the sets of Dhoom 3:

I bet he did 😆
Anyways, even if it was offered to SRK first, I'm glad Aamir bagged it :)

I don't understand why on earth the media has to always ask Aamir regarding Salman's marriage?😕

But he didn't take SRK's name it was the reporter who took his name and Aamir gave a reply in his typical style.
