“Only An Idiot Like Aamir Could Make Dangal,” Says Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

Aamir Khan has always been known to deliver some of the most compelling performances in Bollywood. The actor has reprised a very diverse range of characters in the past from the ferocious Mangal Pandey to the whimsical Phunsuk Wangdu in ‘3 Idiots’. Most recently, Aamir received a very strange compliment for his role in his newest venture, Dangal.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra called Aamir Khan an ‘idiot’ but insisted that it was a compliment.

He delivered great praise for the perfectionist actor and also commended him on his latest production.

However, why idiot? 

“Aamir is a mad man. We call him ‘idiot’ like you saw in 3 Idiots. So, only he can do this. If you aren’t that then you can make a lot of money and leave the world but ‘idiots’ (people crazy for their work) remain forever.”

Yeah, now I see how that’s a compliment.

I definitely think there’s no actor more deserving of the ‘Idiot’ tag in the Indian film industry than the brilliant Aamir Khan.
