He never takes actresses who can outshine him. He takes mostly newcomers or ensures he is most dominant part of any film and others are new or character actors or juniors or maybe at par with him but never anyone who may overshadow him.
There is a reason why he never worked with Amitabh earlier nor worked with Hrithik or SRK or Amrish Puri or Ash or Sush etc.
He hardly works with more charismatic stars. He never worked with Vidya Balan or Konkona Sen type powerhouse actresses either.
Earlier Tabu did not work with him due to height difference as she is way taller than him. Now they do not work because Aamir has to be centre of the show no matter what.
It is a different matter that Darsheel, Mona Singh, Rani, Bebo outshone him in TZP, LSC, Talaash. But otherwise an Aamir film is centred around him.
Tabu is too talented to be wasted. Aamir usually likes to work with actresses who he thinks look conventional and less intelligent. He rejected Nandita Das for Lagaan as he felt she looked too intelligent to pass off as a village girl. You think he will work with Tabu?
I am surprised Aamir managed to work with Salman in AAA, Ajay in Ishq, Kajol in Fanaa or Madhuri in Dil. Otherwise he always chooses less famous or less equal names to work with or some newbie or junior or someone from theatre or TV.
Heroines hardly have anything to do in an Aamir film anyway. Tabu would be wasted in an Aamir film the way she was wasted in HSSH, Saathiya, Biwi no.1.
In the 90s Aamir, Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri were to star in an Indra Kumar movie. It just never materialized.
Hrithik was offered a part in RDB but he refused it.
Ash was signed for Mangal Pandey but there were payment issues with the producers that had nothing to do with Aamir and she walked out.
Aamir movies are not always centered around him. RDB is a genuine ensemble movie. In fact his character was the least interesting with hardly any backstory. TZM was all about Darsheel. He was even front and center in the poster with Aamir in the background. In many instances in Dangal he was literally in the background while Zaira Waseem would be the main focus of the camera. DCH was another ensemble cast and his story arc doesn’t even start till after the interval.
It’s not true that heroines don’t have anything to do in an Aamir movie. Dangal is all about the girls. Kareena has a significant part in LSC. Same with Kajol in Fanaa. Same with Karishma in Raja Hindustani.
Katrina is taller and a big star and Aamir has worked with her twice. Anushka is taller than him too and he worked with her. Karishma was at the height of her popularity when he did Raja Hindustani with her. Despite not working as much Kajol was still fairly popular when she did Fanna with her. Bebo has amazing screen presence and is very popular and he’s worked with her twice.
