Aamir Khan, also known as Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood has delivered several memorable performances over the years. One of his most loved roles to date is Bhuvan from Lagaan. The actor in a recent podcast shared how Vicky Kaushal would be perfect to essay the role if the film is remade today. The actor has reacted to Aamir’s statement and expressed gratitude.
Vicky Kaushal on Aamir Khan
Aamir said on Komal Nahta’s podcast, “Vicky Kaushal, I think he has that quality of Bhuvan – dignity, strength, inner strength, steadiness, and integrity. He reflects all of that very naturally. He is a great actor.”
Humbled by these words, Vicky took to social media to share his gratitude. Reacting to the compliment, he wrote, “There can be no other ‘Bhuvan’ than Aamir Sir…but such an honour to get such kind words from the master himself.” Take a look at his Instagram story here:
Released in 2001, Lagaan was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and produced by Aamir Khan. Set during the British colonial rule, the film told the story of a group of villagers who challenge their British oppressors to a game of cricket to avoid paying unfair taxes.
Aamir Khan on uniting with SRK and Salman on-screen
While we have not yet seen the trio of Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan working together in a film, Aamir Khan was seen speaking about it. He said, “Salman and Shah Rukh have worked together, Salman and I have collaborated, too, but the three of us have not. But I think we are more ready for it than we were earlier. And if a good story comes with good roles for three of us and if we all like it, we will definitely do it,” said Aamir. “There is no other problem,” he emphasised.
When asked how likely it is for all of them to like such a story, Aamir said that there is a “50-50 chance” for it. He also acknowledged audiences’ emotion of watching them together, by saying, “That`s an emotion we identify with, Shah Rukh, Salman and I. All three will respect the emotions of the audience.”
On the work front, the actor next has Kishore Kumar’s biopic in his kitty for which he is even taking singing classes. Apart from this, he was recently seen in Aryan Khan’s Ba***ds of Bollywood.
