‘Somewhere we went wrong’

Aamir Khan recently attended the grand finale of the second edition of Cinestaan India’s Storyteller Script Contest 2018 along with writers Juhi Chaturvedi and Anjum Rajabali. 

The actor interacted with media and spoke about the failure of Thugs Of Hindostan. Aamir said, “I take full responsibility for the film not doing well. We tried our best but somewhere we went wrong which is why there were a few people who did like the film, but only they were a minority. However, we are thankful to them for having liked the film. We have this realisation that we did not meet the audience’s expectations when they came to watch the film. I apologise that I couldn’t provide them the entertainment .”

Aamir was supposed to be a part of space film Saare Jahaan Se Achha which is based on Indian astronaut Rakesh Sharma. However, the actor backed out and now Shah Rukh Khan will be doing that role.  Aamir said, “I think it’s a great and wonderful script. I am a huge fan of Rakesh Sharma and it’s a wonderful story. I feel sad that I am not able to do it, which is why I actually called up Shah Rukh and said that it’s a wonderful story.”
