Aamir Khan and Imran Khan
Aamir Khan recently opened up about his nephew and actor Imran Khan`s failed Bollywood career. For the unversed, Imran made his debut with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na in 2008. Although the film was successful, his later films failed to impress the audience. The Sitaare Zameen Par actor recently shared how his nephew told him why he quit acting 10 years ago. Aamir said that Imran "finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct", adding that the reason why he "won`t fit" in regular mainstream Hindi movies.
During a chat with Indian Express, Aamir Khan noted that Imran "wants to be an actor, not a star" and that he is not "comfortable with herogiri". Aamir shared, "Yes, Imran has a certain creative instinct. He finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct we have. That’s not his natural space. Which is why he’d do really well in a film like Jaane Tu and Delhi Belly (2011). He’s in his element there."
