Aamir Khan seemingly ignites feud with Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan has finally reacted to the king of romance Shah Rukh Khan’s remarks in a recent interview.

The 59-year-old talked about why Indian movies face hurdles in getting Oscar’s nominations, during his appearance in BBC Asian Network.

Aamir asserted that people often overlook the Best International Feature category.

"The Best International Feature category, you’re actually competing with the best film from each country…And then you’re in an arena where there are 80 other films. And to be nominated among 80 films is itself tough.”

He went on adding, "The reason why we don’t have nominations every year for India is because there are films from Iran, Germany, France, from all over the world which are very good films. You’re in very good company. To get nominated is a huge deal.”

Amid the conversation, the 3 Idiots star was told the King Khan’s response over the same question, to which he completed disagreed.

In a time-worn interview, the 59-year-old talked about the Oscar nominated Indian film Lagaan, saying it was a "combination of an art and commercial film together" and called it "a wonderfully made film."

But, the Pathaan actor went on urging that Bollywood should work on changing the format of the film, "if I’m invited to your party, I need to dress up in the code you tell me to. I cannot be wearing my code of two and a half hours and five songs. We have to change that."

Contradicting Khan's opinion, the filmmaker poured in: "No, I don’t agree. I don’t agree. Because Lagaan was three hours and 42 minutes. And it had six songs. And it got nominated. To get nominated, the members really have to love your film. Lagaan proves that a film with songs, which is also very long, is not a problem for the Academy members."

Amir Khan conclude with claiming that it relies on the quality of the work, including the ability to resonate and persuade the audiences emotionally.
