KK Menon on Aamir, Salman, SRK,AB

Aamir Khan taking the route of having content in films: Kay Kay Menon

Versatile actor Kay Kay Menon, who will be next seen in Remo D'Souza's 'ABCD - Any Body Can Dance' is full of praise for megastar Amitabh Bachchan and actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan, who he feels has been largely instrumental in bringing content to Hindi cinema.

Menon got a chance to share screen space with Big B in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Sarkar', where he played his son.

"I believe the era of Amitabh Bachchan is not going to come back. He is the last star that we have. He is someone who did not require marketing to promote himself, it was his work that spoke for him," Menon told PTI in an interview here.

"It was only his one poster that had the film running for 25 weeks. That is what I would call stardom and the charisma he has. I don't think anyone can be like him," he said.

Working with Bachchan was a memorable experience for Menon. "I cherish the way he works. I got to learn so much from him," the 45-year-old said.

As for Aamir, Menon may not have worked with him, but he is in awe of him for the way he churns out his films.

"I admire the way Aamir is involved with his films; one can see the difference in screenplay. I think as an actor Aamir has made a difference to cinema. He is not like those self-proclaimed stars that don't have talent but market themselves in a good way," he said.

"Aamir is taking the route of having content in cinema. It's a good thing and I really like the way he does it."

The offbeat actor however, played safe while talking about the other two powerful Khans - Shah Rukh and Salman in the industry.

"They are doing well and are successful. I hope they would try and protect some cinema in their films. I think big stars today are in a position to revive content in films, revive cinema and they should do it," he felt. Bollywood is ruled by stars, but Menon is happy being an actor.

"I think being a star has nothing to do with acting. It's all about marketing today. I am happy being an actor," he said.

Asked if he plans to produce films, Menon says, "No there are no plans of producing films. I believe in specialising. And I am a specialised actor. If someday I get bored of it I would think of doing something else."

Menon will be seen next in Remo D'Souza's 'ABCD ' Any Body Can Dance'. The 3D dance film stars Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya and contestants from reality show 'Dance India Dance'. The film is set to release on February 8.

Can't say I disagree. Aamir has always found the perfect balance between Box office success and content. All these other actors can keep fighting to be the "Badshah". Aamir is above all that, he's the IKKA.😃

Kya ghantaa cotent tha Talaash me

I wonder what he will have to say about Dhoom3's content. 😆

Even in the 90's when he was a struggling star, he was doing films with content like Akele Hum Akele Tum, JJWS, DHKMN etc etc. An Aamir Khan film guarantees quality. For the rest, the less said the better.

Has he forgotten Swades, my name is khan, Chak de India etc.? and who says romantic movies are content free!? I absolutely love veer zaara!

Most 90s films of Aamir were 10 times worse than SRK and Salmans.

Aamir only had few decent films till Raja Hindustani came.

He should talk less about good cinema after being part of Silsilay and Drona
2 big disasters of last decade 🤢

Box office success and Good cinema are two different things.

Raja Hindustani might be Aamir's biggest hit to date, but its also one of his crappiest films to date and this is coming from an AK fan.

Give me Dil hai ke Manta Nahi or Akele Hum over Raja Hindustani any day.

KK Menon still doing movies 😕



Quality movies was Mangal Pandey Mela or Mann quality . Infact Aamir should stop doing movies with the letter M 😃 😃


Srk has quality films DDLJ KKHH baazigaar So on

Salman was in Tere naam

This guy was in Drona and I actually thought he quit movies after that

But he still running his mouth and doing stupid dance films
