I Made So Many Mistakes In Laal Singh Chaddha: Aamir Khan

"Laal Singh Chaddha is very dear to me. The entire cast did a lot of work, but it didn't work. When I look at my failures, it is the biggest opportunity for me to learn. There were two things: first, it was after a long time that my film didn't work. So many people came to meet me. I felt if you get so much love after a flop then I would have given 2-3 more flop films. The real side of it is that failure teaches you what has gone wrong. It gives you an opportunity. It has been a big learning. I have made so many mistakes on this movie at so many levels," Aamir Khan said on Laal Singh Chaddha's failure.

So I told her to take the screen test so that I was suited for the job. I gave the screen test and after seeing the screen test, we liked it but we felt that Kiran's fear (was true) because if I come as a star and there are expectations that come with it, then those two would be different. So, when people would watch it, then it will have a different effect. So, we felt that I should not be in the film in any case," Aamir Khan said.
