‘Shah Rukh Khan-Salman Khan’s Pathaan joke would’ve offended young actors’: Aamir Khan spotlights Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar as being in same league
Aamir Khan shared that it’s not just him, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan who have lasted for over 30 years in the industry, but also other actors.
Aamir Khan is a part of the iconic “trinity” of the Hindi film industry, alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Together, the three of them have dominated Bollywood as its most influential figures over the past three decades. However, in a recent conversation, Aamir emphasised that it’s not just the three of them who have survived for over 30 years in the industry, but also actors like Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, and others, who have significantly shaped Hindi cinema over this period.
During an interaction with The Hollywood Reporter India, when Aamir was asked about his views on the future of stardom, he responded, “I have to say that it isn’t just Salman, Shah Rukh and me who have lasted for 35 years. There’s Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, there have been a lot of actors who have been along with us. So, it’s inaccurate that just three us have been there for 35 years.”
The interview also touched upon the memorable final scene in Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which featured a cameo by Salman Khan. In this scene, Salman’s character delivers a humorous, tongue-in-cheek line: “Humein hi karna padega bhai. Desh ka sawal hai, bachon pe nahi chhod sakte (We have to handle it, brother. It’s about the nation; we can’t leave it to the kids).” Laughing about the scene, Aamir reacted, saying, “All the young actors must have gotten really upset, but you can’t even get too upset with Shah Rukh and Salman. Kya kar sakte hai (What can they do?)”
Aamir’s last film, Laal Singh Chaddha, received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office, earning approximately Rs 130 crore against a substantial budget of Rs180 crore. Despite high expectations, the film was a disappointment commercially. Now, Aamir is gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna and produced by himself and his ex-wife Kiran Rao. This film is a spiritual successor to Aamir’s 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par and features him alongside Darsheel Safary and Genelia Deshmukh.

Yash Chopra’s Darr, starring Shah Rukh Khan in a negative role, is a cult classic movie. It featured Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol in the leading roles. SRK’s performance stole the show as the obsessive lover, but did you know that before SRK, Chopra was eyeing Aamir Khan? Eventually, things did not pan out as expected, and instead of Aamir, Shah Rukh got the part. The Dangal star once shared the details about what happened back then and how he lost the role. Scroll below for the deets.
The movie, released in 1993, was a romantic psychological thriller produced by Yash Raj Films. Annu Kapoor, Tanvi Azmi, Anupam Kher, and Dalip Tahil were part of the supporting cast. This film was a huge commercial success and one of the highest-grossing films of the year. It won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. The film received multiple accolades.
According to News 18’s report, Aamir Khan once, in an interview with Sushma Dutt in Vancouver, opened up about why he lost out on the iconic role of Rahul Mehra, which Shah Rukh Khan later portrayed. Aamir revealed that he has this policy when he is offered a film with more than one hero. However, Yash Chopra was not so keen on abiding by Khan’s principle. Thus, he was removed from Darr.
Aamir recalled, “I really liked the story, and Yash Chopra is a very good director. I have worked with him on Parampara and was very keen on working with him again. But, I have a principle, or you could say a policy, that if I’m working on a film with two heroes or more on one hero, I request the director for a joint narration. I prefer the director to narrate the story to both heroes together.” He cited Andaz Apna Apna‘s example and revealed that he and Salman Khan received joint narration.
Aamir Khan explained, “This approach ensures that both of us are satisfied with our roles and helps prevent any issues later on. This is how I like to work. But in this case, it was not possible. Yash ji did not feel that he should give a joint narration. On that basis, I was removed from the project.”
It is one of the iconic movies in Shah Rukh Khan’s career. Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan are among the biggest stars in the industry. Fans are still waiting for a filmmaker to cast them together in a movie with Salman Khan.
