‘Aamir Khan always has a habit of getting over-excited,’ says Amitabh Bachchan on former praising Jhund

Actor Amitabh Bachchan is basking in the glory of the success of his latest release ‘Jhund’. Before the release of the film, the makers hosted a special screening for actor Aamir Khan.

The ‘Dangal’ actor was left awe-struck after watching the film and was even left teary-eyed. He called Amitabh’s performance his one of the finest ever. Now, reacting to Aamir’s praises, the megastar has said that the former has the habit of getting over-excited.

“Aamir always has the habit of getting over-excited. But I thank him for it. I think Aamir has always been a very good judge of films. So, I am deeply obliged that he had such kind words to say about the film,” he told Bollywood Hungama.

After watching Jhund, Aamir had said, “What a film. My God. Bohut hi behtareen film hai (It’s an amazing film). He was then seen wiping tears away with the sleeves of his T-shirt as he was seen giving a standing ovation.

Aamir also praised Amitabh Bachchan’s work in the film and had said, “What work he has done! He has done great films in his career. But this is one of his best films. One of his greatest films.”

Big B and Aamir Khan had shared screen space in Yash Raj Film’s ‘Thugs Of Hindustan’, which also starred Katrina Kaif. The film failed to impress the audiences.

‘Jhund’ is directed by Nagraj Popatrao Manjule and is based on the life of Vijay Barse, a retired sports teacher who founded an NGO called Slum Soccer. While Amitabh essayed the role of Vijay, actors Akash Thosar and Rinku Rajguru are also seen in pivotal roles.

Amitabh Bachchan also has an interesting line-up of films. He will be seen in ‘Project K’, ‘Brahmastra’, ‘The Intern’, ‘Runway 34’, and ‘Goodbye’.
