Aamir Khan She recently spoke candidly about why she avoids going to movie screenings, revealing that it’s hard to pretend she’s not enjoying a movie. The actor explained that it is often useless to give strong opinions just days before the release of the film, because the filmmakers do not have enough time to make major changes.“I watch very few films, which is very strange. But that’s been since my childhood. I’ve never been a watcher. But I read a lot, so that makes up for it,” Aamir said at the Screen Academy Masterclass organized by Whistling Woods International. Explaining his doubts about attending the scheduled screenings, “One of the reasons I don’t watch movies is that I don’t know how to lie. If someone asks me how the movie is, I say ‘Bahut bakwas thi yaar.’ Pak gaya main. (It was too awesome. I got bored). It will show in my face.”According to Aamir, filmmakers often invite colleagues to screenings a week before release, leaving little room for meaningful feedback. “They call you a week before the release. You can’t even help at the last minute. It would ruin their sleep,” he said.During the discussion, Aamir also shared a humorous tip that the veteran lyricist and screenwriter once gave him. Javed Akhtar. Recalling the anecdote, Aamir said Javed suggested using the phrase “You’ve outdone yourself” when diplomatically responding to a bad film.“That means you’ve done such bad films, you’re outdoing yourself there too. It can mean anything,” Aamir joked. The actor also urged young filmmakers to keep an open mind during test screenings and avoid getting defensive when the audience shares criticism. He believes that audiences stop being honest the moment they feel their opinions are being challenged. While admitting that listening to critics can be difficult, Aamir insists that getting a film approved before its release is essential.On the work front, Aamir was last seen in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. He is now preparing the sequel to 3 Idiots, where he is expected to reunite with the filmmaker. Rajkumar Hirini. The project is currently in pre-production, and the original trio – Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshithey are said to be returning for the much-awaited sequel.
