Aamir Khan has righty inherited the genes and the genius of his father and filmmaker Tahir Hussain. Being a stickler for perfection happened right from his debut in 1988, the blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Given his charm and chocolate-boy looks and his flamboyance, obviously there was a star in the making. But he had an eye of a filmmaker too. He knew what it takes to create a piece of work and how to make it work. He was a thinking man, a cerebral charmer, to put it in an easier way.
Over these 32 years, he has seen massive highs and some extreme lows. He, in case you forgot, was the pioneer of the 100 crore, 200 crore, and 300 crore club in India. His cinema appeals to both the head and the heart, and he takes his own sweet and sometimes frustrating time to make a film but when he does, expect something different and special. But we are here to talk about his prep, what goes behind making his characters. How does he ace the physical and emotional transformations? Is this why he's addressed as Mr. Perfectionist?
