There are moments that are quite uncomfortable. Raja Hindustani, which was a staggering hit, is very uncomfortable to watch. You look at it and you go, ‘This is wrong; we are not supposed to.
..’ so there are a fair amount of 90s films that are uncomfortable by today’s measures.
” Raja Hindustani was a 1996 release which was directed by Dharmesh Darshan. It starred Aamir alongside Karisma Kapoor. The film revolved around a cab driver who falls in love with a rich lady.
It became one of the biggest hits of the 90s. On taking advice from Aamir Imran also shared during the interview that he has always looked up to Aamir both professionally and personally. "I am tremendously led by him.
Through life, whenever I am facing a dilemma, I think, ‘What would Aamir do?’ I may not exactly approach it in the same way as him; a lot of our methodologies and beliefs are different, but at its core, he has always been driven by integrity and authenticity. Your guiding principle must come from what is morally justifiable and then what is the most truthful and most authentic way that we can render this story. Those are kind of the core guiding principles which I have learnt from him, which I still adhere to.
