Aamir Khan Opens Up About Doing Romantic Movies: 'If I Suit The Character..'

Aamir Khan is one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood and is currently on a break after the release of his last movie 'Laal Singh Chadha'. He made a rare public appearance at a media event and talked about the genres he wanted to explore. The '3 Idiots' star also talked about doing romantic movies in future and said that his character should be age-appropriate.

While speaking at the News18 conference, Aamir said, "Agar romantic kahani hogi toh zarur. Iss age mein romance thora uncommon hota hai. Kahani ke hisaab se agar main character suit karunga toh kyun nahi karna chahunga? (If there's a romantic film I can do, sure. It's a little uncommon to explore romance at my age. If I suit the character and the story, why not?)"

He added, "Har genre karna chahunga. Par age-wise thora suitable hona chahiye. Suddenly main 18 ho gaya ho woh nahi karna chahunga. (I would like to explore every genre of film. But, it's important that I suit the age of the character. If there's a role that suddenly requires me to look 18, I don't want to do that.)”

Aamir Khan announced a break from acting after the failure of 'Laal Singh Chadha'. While announcing a break in 2022, he told ANI, “When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions. It’s a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it’s a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break, be with my family, with my mom, my kids."

“I feel I have been working for 35 years and I have single-mindedly been focused on my work. I feel that it’s not fair to people who are close to me. This is the time I feel I have to take some time off to be with them and actually experience life in a different way. I am looking forward to the next year, a year-and-a-half in which I am not working as an actor," he added

On the work front, Aamir Khan has worked as a producer in his upcoming movie 'Laapataa Ladies', directed by Kiran Rao.
