Not interested in breaking records, want love of audience: Aamir

Aamir KhanBollywood actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan features in one of the most awaited films of the year, “Dhoom 3”, he says he is not thinking about how many records it will break.

Reacting to reports stating that he has claimed that “Dhoom 3” will surpass the business of Shah Rukh Khan’s “Chennai Express”, Aamir said in a statement:”I am not interested in breaking records. I am an artist, and what gives me a high is to entertain my audience, to give them a good time, and to satisfy them emotionally.”

Aamir’s last release “Talaash” was appreciated for his performance, but the movie couldn’t mint too much moolah. The actor believes the challenge does not lie in building numbers at the box office, it lies in winning the audience’s adulation.

“I want to earn the love of my audience. That is what I am thirsty for. I like to challenge myself and do work that I have not done. I like to surprise my audience.These are the things that I am interested in,” said the versatile actor, who will be seen in a negative role in “Dhoom 3”.

Aamir has just returned to Mumbai after month-long training schedule in Australia where he had gone to learn a special dance form.

“Dhoom 3”,which is the third instalment of the Yash Raj Films’ franchise, also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra and Katrina Kaif. It will release on December 20th.

  • after creating 100cr,200cr now aamir will create 300crwith dhoom 3. .shameless creatures called srkians are already pieing on there pants and spreading negativity on dhoom 3 but dhoom 3 will break overated cheap actor srks ce record and create 300cr club aamir rocks overrated srk sucks.

  • @nipun, bro do some research on srk movies since 1993 then you will know how versatile he is.. I think he has the most variety in his roles.

  • @nipun, bro do some research on srk movies since 1993 then you will know how versatile he is.. I think he has the most variety in his roles. But the thing is srk does romance in such a good way that his other qualities got hiden by that. This is the problem.

  • @deep. Madras cafe, RDB and lootera and even Lagaan were good scripts but it wasnt blockbusters. What happened to most hyped film Talaash script and trailer was awful. After doing so many films why did Aamir could only give just 3 blockbusters?. Aamir has 2 superhits in his entire career and rest of them are just flops, averages, above averages and some hits lol

  • @soroop bro, few correction dude. Aamir has just 9 clean hits in his entire career which is 25 years old. Those 9 clean hits are: hits- lagaan, rdb. Superhits- qsqt,dil,fanaa,tzp. At Blockbuster-raja hindustani, ghajini, 3idiots. Majority of the rest are flops and few are avg, above avg whereas ishq and sarfarosh were semi hits.

  • These srk fans are so insecure….wait till dec 20th…u will cry ur hearts out…n u say aamir is not as successful as srk…get ur facts right….srk can not dare to choose a script like tzp,lagaan,rdb…aamir khan is a game changer…he is revolutionary…srk is just overrated…aamir has inspired people with his gems..n srk just ran behind moolah all his life…he is just the biggest cheater..the way he promoted raone and ce..such pathetic scripts with worst acting ever..aamir is always honest when it comes to film promotion…look at the way he promoted taalash as he knew the movie was not carrying mass appeal…even the movies he produced..like delhi belly,peepli live,jaane tu..no one can dare to touch those kind of movies…only aamir can…bt this time dhoom 3 has everything going its way…a superstar,christmas release(aamir’s fav),katrina kaif,pritam,action…now just wait n watch u insecure srk fans..n get ready for the most dreadful christmas of ur life…keep on spreading negative publicity…u cheapsters…just like ur cheap king srk…

  • @Noam : Aren’t you the same guy who called 3 Idiots as an adult movie. n you are talking about double standards. huh !!!!!

  • Ha ha ha ha lol…
    I knw dis wud gonna happen…
    Bloody hypocrite… Hez playin safe by giving dis statement(if doom3 wil not break ce’s record)…!!
    N watzz more interesting is hez followin lallu khan’s footsteps… If m not wrong lallu too said d dame thing… Aamir bloody chamcha…
    Dont hav any identity of his own… Just to bring shahrukh down he took lallu’s side.he wil b more happiee wen srk’s film flops rather dan his film being blockbuster.
    Datzz wat he is… Bloody jealous hypocrite chamcha

  • i was right i know Aamir is not one who will be overconfident on his product and i was sure that he will never say my film can will break this record, that record and he clarifies the same. Hats off to you Mr. Aamir waiting for your movie not only D3 but also for P.k. & your future projects.

  • its been alwz amir & salman have 2 team up even ajay also join salman remind SOS to try 2 win against SRK …aditya s11 grow up idiots

  • wait .wait wait the most talented audience, critics & intelligent people crown goes to not one but three a trio name is Soroop,Sameer & sahil.
    mr sameer yaa Aamir has only 9 hits and all of them were gems & entertainer, i was remebered someone said in other post Srk is sachin i agree that he is consistent like Sachin but do you know Aamir is dhoni because what Dhoni did for country that was above Sachin winning of 2 world cups for a country who is not dominated in cricket not become the top team ever, same goes for Aamir he has less hits but all were great and that’s y even not a popular star like Srk-salman he was getting highest price for a movie since 90’s, he is highest paying celebrity in the Ad worlds, founder of 100 cr, 200cr club, Dhoni having 8 centuries but he is the Best match winner for India and he perform at the time when even Sachin was failed to do so same goes for Aamir. i tell you how.
    srk critical acclaimed movies which srk fans r saying were greats
    Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa- Different Romantic saga- Average
    Dil Se- Flop
    Swades- Flop
    Paheli- Flop
    Ashoka- Flop
    MNIK- many thoughts at the time of MNIK release it will definitely break Ghajini records if not
    3 Idiots collected 73 cr while fox star claiming the time it broken every record of 3I in India, while truth was that it breaks records in overseas – Hit
    Ra One- Flop doesn’t know how 135 cr movie become HIT by BOI when it collected only 115 cr
    Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman- Average/above avg
    CDI- Blockbuster
    Josh- above avg
    Aamir’s
    JJWS- Above AVG
    Sarfarosh- Semi hit/above avg
    Mangal Pandey- below AVG
    Lagaan- Hit with clashing with GADAR
    TZP- Super Hit clashing with Welcome
    Rangeela- average
    Talaash- Semi Hit
    from the table its seen if Aamir was getting avg or hit status for his experimental movies srk gets mostly flop except CDI.
    Tell me y his greats like swades,paheli and dil se, asoka been flopped while not so good movies like DTPH,Pardes,yes Boss were successful that time
    simple reason is that audience love to see srk in masala & love stories movies, Salman into Action,comedy,Family Drama while when they wants different they perefer Aamir movies whether they collected big or not but remains in heart of Audiences & when it comes for History then he did 2 world cups to Industry like 100cr,200cr club. now wait for 300cr club

  • @soroop i thing you r most dumbest srkian as you said that John is better than Aamir, being a hater you don’t like aamir its obvious but doing insult of someone talent can done only by a dumb like you, John himself said at the time of Madras Cafe promotion that he admire Aamir the most. and with this comments i came to know that its better to skip your comments rather than giving reply to you because a genuine reader can’t give such bad comments like you. so its final reply to you by me and i know you will say likea dumb that as i don’t have answer so i avoid you, but i follow a hindi phrase Bhains ke aage been bajane se koi Fayda Nahi. and please think why your so great srk’s best scripted and acted movies like swades & paheli bombed at the box office.

  • @sahir when you r busy to seeing Aamir’s Parampara, tume mere ho kinda fops, people were busy to watch his greats like Sarfarosh, 3I,RDB,DCH,Lagaan,TZP,Ghajini,JJws etc. and that’s made the audience to believe if Aamir is in the movie it definitely have something special.
    and you want to say that swades,dil se etc not having good scripts, a talented actor is one who giving type to best movies and with 100% contribution not for one who doesn’t have guts to do a movies like 3I,Lagaan & munnabhai if your srk is so intelligent why he not having guts to do movie with New director Ashutosh,Rajkumar hirani that time.
    @sameer yaa Aamir is average actor, happy and Aamir fans always talking abt quality but you blind srkian were busy to skip their comment as you were hiding that time when srk big budgeted movies were unable to become superhits inspite of Holiday period and Huge promotions.

  • @sahir-have u even watched Raakh(many national awards),1947 earth(india’s entry to oscar that year),dhobi ghat(bafta longlist).And in which world was mangal pandey bad.

  • @saroop u must understand that past hits and flops doesnt affect these top stars much.. If u look at talash its a dark thriller and people dont relish these type of movies and so his promition of the movie was low key coz he knows certain section of the people wont like it.. Coming back to his hits and flops.. After Mela he hasn’t given a flop.. Dil Chahta and lagaan changed the course of the industry… His fan following may not be as huge as Salman and SRK but what works in his favour is that everytime he does a movie he gives something new for the audience and this timee too the hype is massive for the film as the audience wants to see his villain avatar… Thats why he is in the top 3… Look at his body of work dude and not the hits and flops… Everybody has their share of hits and flops.. But what matters is his movies can be watched again and again ..

  • @aks, the list which you have given regarding experimental movies of srk and aamir is incomplete. Yeah agreed few srk starrers experimental movies are flops like paheli, swades, ashoka, dil se. But why didn’t you include aamir’s flops like rakh(most criticaly aclaimed movie of the year), 1947 earth, andaz apna apna( best comedy movie of all era as per aamir sk fans), akele hum akele tum(one of the best movie of the year with chartbuster music). So aamir has also equal number of flops as srk in experimental work. And one more thing from your list, srk has a blockbuster in cdi whereas aamir has none. And raone was declared hit by the trades, so your personal verdict on that cant be considered. And one more thing i am a big fan of aamir’s diplomacy but not as a star. And regarding sachin and dhoni, then captain is as good as team. In dhoni’s team there are many match winners whereas sachin was one man army at his peak so is srk. Aur rahi baat worldcup ki then t20 worldcup was won by yuvi’s brilliance and odi worldcup was won by yuvi and sachin’s brilliance except the final. So its not only bcoz of dhoni. Similarly aamir’s 200 crs was due to the brilliance of raju hirani. Aamir is just a credit taker. In tzp he robbed the credits from amol gupte and in upcoming dhoom3 he will take away the credits even though dhoom franchise is well established by stylish hrithik. So aamir is a great credit taker.

  • @yash…u r a certified idiot n u proved it with your comment….salman n aamir never combined to beat srk…its that cheap srk who always chooses big banners n successful directors to work with…he just can not take any risk…why he can not do anything different??..why he can’t take any risk….n it took 4 years to break 3i record…why was ur king not able to break that record before….3i-1600 screen,ce-3500 screens,hiked ticket prices..so why r u going gaga over it…ce will not hold its record for even 4 months…. watch out for dhoom 3….n be ready to cry out loud…bt first watch out for besharam ..it may surpass ur king’s record…

  • Dont worry Aamir Sir- Im super duper confident that D3 will be both a critical and commercial success and an All Time Block Buster guaranDamnnnnnteed…! ;-)

    Aamir roxXxXx and Dhoom 3 will be raking in the moolah all the way to the bank as they say…! :-)

  • @soroop You already know how I and every sane person feels about your ‘soppy’ somments so I wont go over old ground as time is of the essence but I will say you suck and that will make your day…!

    @aks you rock man

    @being whatever fan No sarcasm this time just pure utter hatred… Really a shame that you let your guard down and exposed your real persona you fake plastic srkian wannabe fan.

    @sachin11 great words my brother from another lifetime…!

  • @aks. if u pick and choose than I also can. ask AMIR to do what SRK has done in his roles in movie like
    Veer zaara devdas chak de khnh swadesh mnik. impossible. he would not even come an inch closer to SRK.
    the only thing in so called perfectionist AMIR he chooses his scripts well. other wise lol. on that count even SALMAN is way better than AMIR where he also chooses some dead script and makes it a big hit.
    @hrithik. dude I stick to what I say. unlike u where in u chop and choose actors which u like. u become change Ur favourite stars even more than our fluctuating Indian economy. that’s the power of SRK.

    to counteract the king SRK u need boxoffice success of SALMAN so called acting brilliance of AMIR and sheer screen presence of HRITHIK and rustic persona of AKSHAY. he he he he he

  • @aditya. than what r u. u r a lousy looser. u proved it with Ur comment. grow Up kid.
    big banners lol. than what does AMIR. poor that these so called big banners don’t want to invest on AMIR. keep crying. good for u.
    and how does AMIR make record. lol forgot. he wants the best script with the best director and also multi star cast. wow and ya I even forgot . he needs 2 months empty . now if I compare that with the Epic of Indian cinema CHAKDE INDIA. without any heroine or nonsense songs with 400 screens just 400 screens and without solo release it manages 70 CRORES. so its a huge blockbuster when even compared to an adult movie 3 idiots.
    so my kind advice. think before u speak.
    ya and we are watching. book Mark this page.
    dhoom 3 ll fizzle out before it even makes a Mark.

  • @aditya. lol risk. than what was chakde. AMIR to do it. what was mnik.?? what was devdas. what was ra 1.
    and according to u dhoom 3 is a risk. wow. man awesome. a known hit franchise. and u call it risk. and 3 idiots was a risk. wow. based on best selling novel and having multi star cast and being directed by the best director. and u call it a risk.
    seriously kindly visit a doctor Bro coz u need to be alive when both critics and audiences both thrash dhoom 3 out of cinema halls with a big dhoom .

  • the highlights of Tinku Amir Khan
    1)Credit taker (taken the credit of TZP after it got directed by Amol Gupte leaving him as creative director)
    2)Highly insecure person
    3)when salman criminal’s some south copy paste became hits,amir insecure khan team up with him & became a chamcha of salman and said he is No.1……and salman said Amir is No.1(in their inner mind they both know that SRK is No.1)
    4)when he became so frustrated with SRK’s global popularity and success,he passed the Dog comment(later on he had to apologize for that publicaly)
    5)Amir is so shameless and namard that he keeps on changing his statements…even the statement of this above article seems to be forcible as his earlier 1 article came saying his Dhoom3 will surpass CE record,….he had to forcibly change that statement after getting negative revies from the public

  • @navin. I am really so very happy that u have certified it to be a big money turner. as all Ur predictions bite the dust
    remember.
    u predicted OUTIMD to be a big blockbuster. what happened. it bit the dust
    u even predicted Chennai express wouldn’t even surpass 150 CRORES and like a fool u r with a pathetic sense of non brainy humour had ‘reiterated’ that it would never cross 3 idiots. lol. I can just laugh. and now one more prediction. can’t stop laughing. he he he

  • @noam… chak de was a fluke dude…n u say aamir chooses good scripts only…what’s wrong with that u idiot…he wants to give a good product always…what’s wrong with that..not like ur cheap king who gives movies like ra-one and ce and becomes laughing stock for everyone except fans like u…i never said dhoom 3 is a risk..3 idiots was never a risk n it broke all the records….im just saying that dhoom 3 will show the power of ace khan….d3 is under a big banner…it has everything going its way…now just wait for records to be broken u insecure srkian…now this year will be the real competition between srk and aamir at the box office bcoz both movies are carrying mass appeal…just wait dude…n u hv already started crying..i wonder what will happen to u on this new year…dreadful…isn’t it…

  • @Navin
    b4 saying i m exposed, kindly dare to defend ur perfaknist & prove me wrong if i was anywhere. & fyi aamir is the only actor i hate( yes, i dnt hate salman) only & only for his dog remark.

  • @noam well said bro.. Ha ha ha as per aamir fans 3idiots and dhoom3 are risky movies? Well if these are risky movies then which movies are safe for them? I hope none.. Oh god they are so insecure.

  • @Noam: if u think CE deserved to break the record of 3 Idiots, den its simple to make out what class of audience u belong to :) so better chill out n boast useless movies
