Aamir Khan’s take on SRK-Salman Pathaan scene hints ‘Dhurandhar’ Ranveer Singh could replace him; Find Out

Aamir Khan has finally given his two bits on the Pathaan scene featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in one frame. While so far, many naturally assumed that the reference was to the third Khan of Bollywood – Aamir Khan – the actor himself has a different thought process in the current scenario. During a recent interaction, Aamir stated that he is almost certain that Ranveer Singh, making the noise for Dhurandhar, could replace him. And Ranveer is not the only star that Aamir believes can fill his shoes. Here's everything the Sitaare Zameen Par actor shared…

Aamir discussed the Pathaan scene with Variety and happened to speak about the future generation who could take over as a superstar. Among them, of course, is ‘Dhurandhar’ Ranveer Singh. During his interview, he shared, “Without taking names, a lot of people guessed what they (SRK and Salman) were trying to say. But today, those same young actors have shown us that not only are they there, they can give us a run for our money — 'Chhaava' Vicky Kaushal, 'Animal' Ranbir Kapoor, 'Dhurandhar' Ranveer. They’re there. They’re very capable of taking over from us. I would say they are very talented actors, perhaps more talented than us. They are staking a claim for a rightful place.”
Aamir Khan confessed that he still hasn’t watched Shah Rukh Khan’s YRF Spy Universe entry film Pathaan. The superstar, however, made sure to visit the scene where SRK and Salman Khan refer to another actor. He watched the very scene on YouTube and gave his reaction on the same. “You know, there was a very funny scene in 'Pathaan'. I don’t even know whether I should mention this, but I haven’t watched the movie because I don’t watch that many films. But I was told about the scene and I saw it on YouTube. Salman and Shah Rukh are sitting at the end of the film and discussing who is going to… It was tongue-in-cheek. It was about the film, but it was also about outside the film,” the actor shared.
Shah Rukh Khan has now collaborated with his Pathaan director Siddharth Anand and is gearing up for their next venture, King.
