I don't compare my work with SRK, Salman, says Aamir Khan

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan believes
the result of creative work is "unpredictable". The actor says he's a
fan of the roles that Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan play and that he
doesn't draw comparisons of his work with theirs.
Aamir on Wednesday began the promotion of his upcoming production
"Secret Superstar".
Present at the trailer launch of the film here, Aamir was asked if he
wishes for stardom like that of Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan.
To that, he said: "I am very happy in the space that I am. I think that
I have a very warm relationship with my audience and it's something
that I have built over the years. It's something that I cherish a lot
and am very grateful for."
"There aren't many people who can say that they have the freedom to
work on something that they love. So, I am really happy, and this is
the place that I want to be in."
Aamir was asked if he thinks he is the only bankable star among the top
three Khans of Bollywood, given the success of his "Dangal" and
considering how in the recent past Shah Rukh's films haven't fared as
well or even how Salman's "Tubelight" did dim business at the box
office.
He said: "Creative work is unpredictable. All of us try our best.
Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we don't. I don't think because of one
or two films, anyone's stardom will be affected."
He added, "I think Salman and Shah Rukh both are huge stars and I am a
fan of their roles. I don't really compare like this. Each one is
unique and different."
"Dangal" had done great business in China.
Aamir said: "I would love for my films to be released in China too. I
would love to do a film, if there is a co-production treaty between
India and China. There are so many talented actors in China, so if
there is a great story out there, then why not."
Regarding "Secret Superstar", Aamir said it's a musical film and
composer Amit Trivedi has done a great job.
"Amit Trivedi is a very talented music composer. When you will listen
to the songs, you will understand. This film is basically a musical and
it's a story about a girl who is very talented singer and composer.
Music is a very important part of this film and I think Amit and Kausar
(lyricist Kausar Munir) both have done an amazing job."
"We are really happy with the songs we have got because they are
exactly what we wanted in those situations."
"Secret Superstar" is a musical drama written and directed by Advait
Chandan and produced by Aamir and his wife Kiran Rao. The film, slated
to release in October, also stars Zaira Wasim and Meher Vij.
Aamir will also be seen in "Thugs of Hindustan", directed by Vijay
Krishna Acharya. Also featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and
Jackie Shroff, it will release in 2018.
