\"Aamir Aamir Khan<\/a> recently spoke candidly about why he avoids attending film screenings, thus, revealing that he finds it hard to pretend if he does not enjoy a movie. The actor explained that giving harsh feedback just days before a film\u2019s release is often pointless because filmmakers no longer have enough time to make major changes.\u201cI see very few films, which is very odd. But that\u2019s been the case since my childhood. I\u2019ve never been a watcher. But I read a lot, so that kind of compensates,” said Aamir at the Screen Academy Masterclass hosted at Whistling Woods International. Explaining his hesitation in attending preview screenings, he added, \u201cOne of the reasons I don\u2019t see films is I don\u2019t know how to lie. If someone asks me how the film is, I\u2019ll say, \u2018Bahut bakwas thi yaar. Pakk gaya main. (It was too awful. I got bored to death).\u2019 It\u2019ll show on my face.”According to Aamir, filmmakers often invite colleagues to screenings only a week before release, leaving little room for meaningful feedback. \u201cThey call you a week before the release. You can\u2019t even contribute anything at the last minute. It\u2019d only ruin their sleep,” he remarked.During the discussion, Aamir also shared a humorous piece of advice once given to him by veteran lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar<\/a>. Recalling the anecdote, Aamir said Javed suggested using the phrase \u201cYou\u2019ve outdone yourself” when responding diplomatically to a bad film.\u201cThat implies you made such bad films, you\u2019ve even outdone yourself there. It can mean anything,” Aamir joked. The actor also urged young filmmakers to remain open-minded during test screenings and avoid becoming defensive when audiences share criticism. According to him, viewers stop being honest the moment they feel their opinions are being resisted. While acknowledging that criticism can be difficult to hear, Aamir stressed that accepting it is essential for improving a film before release.On the work front, Aamir was last seen in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. He is now gearing up for the sequel to 3 Idiots, which is expected to reunite him with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani<\/a>. The project is currently in pre-production, and the original trio \u2014 Aamir Khan, R Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi, are reportedly set to return for the much-awaited sequel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aamir Khan recently spoke candidly about why he avoids attending film screenings, thus, revealing that he finds it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[263],"tags":[10111,213906,46099,18,117,213908,19,17,49984,213907,327,213909,97849,7454,51455],"class_list":["post-490143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-aamir-khan","tag-aamir-khan-film-screenings","tag-aamir-khan-honesty","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-film-criticism","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-javed-akhtar","tag-javed-akhtar-advice","tag-movies","tag-r-rajkumar","tag-rajkumar-hirani","tag-sharman-joshi","tag-sitaare-zameen-par"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116593943300580736","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
