"Aamir did a film with Ashutosh ('Lagaan') with whom he had a flop before. A new director, Farhan came to you with a 3 heroes film ('Dil Chahta Hai') and you did it. Who would have done 'Dangal' in their right mind. Role of such an old man who loses to his daughter in kushti. All actors work in films of directors who have given hits. You take chances no other can."

Aamir will next star in "Sitaare Zameen Par" which is a sequel to his 2007 movie "Taare Zameen Par”, that marked his directorial debut and received critical acclaim.

The film will, however, have a fresh story and characters. It is expected to release this year. PTI ATR
