While he celebrates the successes, he holds his failures \u2018close to his heart\u2019, as he says, because they have all taught him some invaluable lessons. He also mentioned his hesitancy about discussing his 2018 big-budget film Thugs Of Hindostan, which emerged as a dud at the box office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent interview, Aamir was asked about the new level of heft in his films, having reached there after starting as a romantic lead. He joked at first, \u201cAre you talking about Thugs Of Hindostan? Just kidding.\u201d When the interview said that they would talk about Thugs in time, Aamir quickly said, \u201cI\u2019d rather not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about his dream project, Mahabharata, Aamir Khan said, \u201cWhen you\u2019re making Mahabharat, you\u2019re not making a film, you\u2019re doing a yagna. It\u2019s not a film, it\u2019s much deeper than that. So I\u2019m not ready for that. I\u2019m afraid to bring it out in the fore. Mahabharat will never let you down, you might let it down.\u201d Explaining further on how sometimes his calculations have gone wrong, Aamir said, \u201cI give a lot of thought to what went wrong. See a film that doesn\u2019t work, is an opportunity. You learn exactly where it\u2019s gone wrong. Wherever I am today, is because of my failure and not my success. I hold my failures close to my heart, because those are the ones have struggled the most. But they teach you a lot. So I value my failures a lot.\u201d He added that he hopes that his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha will touch people\u2019s hearts and resonate with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering Bollywood is going through a rather rough patch at the box office, Aamir had earlier expressed his worry about the film\u2019s eventual outcome. During his appearance on Koffee With Karan, Aamir said that he was rather \u2018stressed\u2019 about the film, and hoped that it would work at the box office, saying that if it didn\u2019t, he would be rather heartbroken. He said that while he knows that director Advait Chandan had done a commendable job with the film, it has increased his nervousness further. He said, \u201cWe are excited that we have made a good film, lekin agar film logon ko pasand nahin aayi, bahut dil toot jaayega (If people don\u2019t like it, we will be heartbroken).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aamir Khan &#8211; Zaa News In his career spanning four decades, Aamir Khan has witnessed quite a few ups and downs.
