Aamir's insights
'He finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct'
Aamir said, "Yes, Imran has a certain creative instinct. He finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct we have. That's not his natural space."
"Which is why he'd do really well in a film like Jaane Tu and Delhi Belly. He's in his element there. But the moment you put him into a regular Hindi film, he won't fit."
"He's not comfortable with herogiri. He wants to play a real person."
