Hindi cinema has faced a slump, with more flops than hits recently, especially compared to regional films. Acknowledging this, Aamir Khan said Hindi films match other industries in quality but still have room to grow.
Aamir Khan on the box office slump, “There’s scope to improve, but is the quality of filmmaking any different across the country?”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir said, “I am not saying that we can’t be better filmmakers. Certainly, I think there is a lot of scope for us to improve as filmmakers and learn from various industries. So, there is definitely scope for that. Having said that, is the quality of filmmaking any different across the country?”
“If you look at the quality of films that we’ve been making, talking about the 70s and 80s. When I came in 1988, the bulk of films being made at that time was the low, according to me. Since then, we have improved if you ask me. After the 90s, when 2000 came in, audiences changed. They are much more open and want to see different kinds of material”, he added.
Amid the current slowdown, Aamir Khan doesn’t want to overlook the progress the film industry has made in recent years.
When asked how he could help improve the current situation, Aamir said, “I would just like to stick to what I am doing and tell the stories that I believe in. That’s what I know how to do. I am not someone who has any grand opinions about myself that I can change the way things are. I’ve never had that opinion about myself. It’s very difficult to make a film. Main ek film hi achhe se bana loon woh hi bahut badi baat hai (If I make one good film, it’s enough).”
Aamir Khan was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, a 2022 remake of the Hollywood classic Forrest Gump. After the film underperformed at the box office, he took a short break before starting his next project, Sitaare Zameen Par.
A thematic sequel to his 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par, the film is directed by RS Prasanna and stars Genelia Deshmukh alongside Aamir. Produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, it is scheduled to release in theatres on June 20.
