The moment I become full-fledged filmmaker, I will stop acting: Aamir khan

Aamir Khan has announced his next project, Lal Singh Chaddha.

MUMBAI (Online): Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who made directorial debut with Taare Zameen Par, said he will quit acting once he decides to turn full-fledged filmmaker.

The actor said, "I am inclined towards filmmaking and I coincidentally directed Taare Zameen Par. I have been in love with filmmaking and acting and I can’t alienate the two but what I can say right now is that I began my career as an actor and it excites me.”

As a producer, Aamir has backed films like Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, Peepli Live, Dhobi Ghat, Delhi Belly, Talaash, Dangal and Secret Superstar. The actor said his aim is to support good scripts. "I had not thought at what pace I will make films. Usually, people make films with their production houses for business. That is not our first agenda. Creativity is our agenda. Till the time we don’t get a good script, we don’t make it into a film. "For me, as an actor, what is important is what the film is all about and what it is trying to say. It should excite me as an actor. It is not important that it should have a social message”, he said. Aamir stated, "It does not matter which part of the world it originates from. If someone from Japan or Africa offers me something and if I get excited, I will do it. But I don’t have a fascination for Hollywood.

The actor has announced his next project, Lal Singh Chaddha, an official adaptation of Tom Hanks’ 1994 film Forrest Gump.
