discussed his longtime connections with
Aamir Khan
and Shah Rukh Khan. He delved into their lasting influence and pinpointed the unique qualities that have made them unforgettable despite facing challenges. Deshpande highlighted Aamir’s storytelling prowess and Shah Rukh’s unmatched star charisma as key factors in their enduring popularity.
Recently, in an interview with Lehren Retro, Makarand said that Shah Rukh Khan is a hugely impactful person.
When someone meets him, he/she can’t help but be moved by his aura. That’s what someone takes home with him. Makarand liked ‘Jawan’ more than ‘Pathaan’. He thought Shah Rukh’s aura was spectacular, especially as the older character.
Talking about Aamir, Makarand said that Aamir Khan has had only a handful of failures. ‘
Laal Singh Chaddha
‘ was such a fine film, and he also produced ‘Laapataa Ladies’. Aamir rarely puts a step wrong. His story selection and his understanding of the filmmaking medium are unparalleled. Along with his directors, he’s created such a formidable body of work.
Makarand concluded by saying that Shah Rukh and Aamir have worked hard over the years. They’re stars for a reason. They’re also very wise. They’re resilient. Despite setbacks, they never gave up. Shah Rukh had such a long rough patch, but then he delivered three hits in the same year. His tenacity is amazing.
Aamir Khan was last seen in the film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ which is an official remake of the Hollywood movie ‘Forrest Gump’, which proved to be a major box office bomb. On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan is in the planning stages for his next project after ‘Pathaan’, ‘Jawan’ and ‘Dunki’.
