Aamir Khan to be a full-time actor soon

At the final Fireside Chat of the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) held on November 27, actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan mentioned, "I’ve always been drawn to stories. They were a big part of my childhood, and that fascination has guided every choice I’ve made as an actor. I can’t repeat myself. Once I’ve done a certain kind of film, I want to move on. I look for stories that feel fresh, unique, and creatively exciting. Once I complete the current slate of projects I’ve produced—Lahore 1947, Happy Patel, and a few others—the work on all of them will wrap in the next few months. After that, I’m shifting my focus entirely back to acting from production."ALSO READ: Dharmendra Saw Sunny Deol's Lahore 1947 Before Death, Reveals Aamir Khan: One Of His Favourite Scripts Concluding his statement, he specified that, "From here on, any script I hear will be only for me as an actor. It’s a significant shift, but the right time to dedicate myself fully to acting again. Several have excited me—two or three in particular—but I’m still in the process of choosing. Direction is actually my big love. Filmmaking is what I enjoy the most… But the day I consciously decide to take up direction, I’ll probably stop acting, because it will consume me completely. That’s why I’m delaying that decision for now.” For the unversed, The 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) began in Goa on November 20, will conclude on Friday, November 28.
