Aamir Khan reveals films from early career where he signed without reading scripts. The actor spoke in a chat with Zakir Khan. He shared how his father Tahir Hussain influenced these decisions.
Aamir said he follows instinct when choosing films. He looks for strong stories. He thinks like an audience before saying yes. If a story feels fresh, he agrees to act or produce.
But Aamir Khan reveals films Awwal Number and Tum Mere Ho were exceptions. He signed them without hearing the script. His father insisted on it. He felt scared and agreed.
He said Dev Anand wanted him for Awwal Number. His father already agreed on his behalf. Aamir had no idea about the story. The film released in 1990 and failed at box office. It also featured cricket backdrop and young cricketer role.
Another film was Tum Mere Ho, produced by Tahir Hussain. Aamir did not hear the story. The film was a fantasy love story with snake-charming theme. It also did not perform well.
He also shared that instinct worked well later. He mentioned Taare Zameen Par. Many people doubted its subject of dyslexia. But he trusted the story and it became a hit.
Aamir also said trusting his instinct has helped his career. He believes every script must connect emotionally. His experience with his father Tahir Hussain shaped his early journey in Bollywood. Today, Aamir Khan is known for careful script selection and strong storytelling choices. His journey from risky early films to success shows growth and learning in the industry.
