Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan talks about ‘Sultan’, ‘Udta Punjab’ and a lot more!

आमिर खान और एक बहुत अधिक 'सुल्तान' के बारे में बात करती है, 'Udta पंजाब'!

In a recent interview with Times of India in Ludhiana, Aamir Khan opened up about the 'Udta Punjab' controversy, a sequel to 'Andaz Apna Apna', 'Sultan' and his transformation for 'Dangal'. Here are excerpts from the interview:
Khan seemed delighted when he was asked about the decision passed by the High Court on the 'Udta Punjab' controversy. "We should not press an artist's voice. Also, artistes should be responsible enough not to show something that is not good for the society. So responsibility should be from both sides. I feel the decision made by High Court is correct and now the film is releasing tomorrow. So, we are eagerly waiting for its release. I'll watch the film in Punjab itself as I'm shooting here," he said.
When further probed about the movie getting leaked on online platforms, he rebuked the concerned authority, "If it's not confirmed (whether Censor Board itself has leaked the film), I can't comment on it. If it is a censor copy, though we are not sure whether it is, then it's a big shame for the CBFC and it's something which will reflect very badly on the CBFC."
On the possibility of it not being a censor copy, he said, "If it's not a censor copy, then piracy is an issue that we have been fighting for very long and unfortunately, what I feel is that when a common man is watching a pirated film, then he doesn't understand that he is committing a crime... When we see a pirated film, we don't even realize that we are committing a crime and doing something wrong. So this sensitivity should increase in the society because we artists work very hard. We should leave it to the audience and let them decide that they won't do this."
