Aamir Khan refutes ghost directing claims: ‘If I was directing, why would I put someone else’s name?’ | Bollywood News

Aamir Khan may be considered Bollywood’s “Mr Perfectionist” today, but when he first began his acting career, things were far from perfect. Competing with his contemporaries, the actor ended up signing more than nine films at once. However, the decision backfired. After the blockbuster success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, almost every film he starred in failed at the box office, leading to him being labelled a “one-film wonder.” It was then that Aamir decided to completely change his approach and started choosing his films with more caution, eventually, he started doing one film at a time, which transformed his career. He went on to deliver acclaimed films such as Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Rangeela, Raja Hindustani among many others. Lagaan, Rang De Basanti, 3 Idiots, Dangal, and many others followed.

Raja Shivaji, directed by Riteish Deshmukh (also it’s lead actor) has struck gold at the box office. As it continues to run successfully in cinemas, he weighed in on the chatter around the epic’s rumoured ₹100-crore budget on the latest episode of The Right Angle, in conversation with Sonal Kalra, Chief Managing Editor, Entertainment and Lifestyle. Riteish Deshmukh When asked if there’s pressure as the maker that the film should open big as the people discuss it’s high budget, he remarked, “About the figures floating around about Raja Shivaji’s budget, only the producers know the real budget. The last thing we need to do as filmmakers is to discuss the budget of a film because it doesn’t affect anything.” According to him, conversations around actors’ fees and budgets have become unnecessarily central to film culture today. He questioned, “Budget se kya lena dena hai? If someone asks me the budget, I ask them ‘how much are you paying for a ticket to watch it?’ They say ‘ ₹100′ or ‘Rs250-300’, I reply that’s the budget. …
