Aamir further noted that Bollywood has “improved” compared to the old Hindi language projects, saying, “I am not saying we cannot be better filmmakers.”
“Certainly I think there is scope for us to be better filmmakers and learn from various industries, Having said that, is the quality of filmmaking any different across the country?” the Dangal actor added.
He further explained that Hindi films are “dramatically different” from regional cinema including, Tamil, Telegu, Malayalam, Bengali, and Marathi.
The father-of-three compared the mainstream audience with his time, when he began his career in Bollywood, back in 1988.
