'Shah Rukh was never on the pedestal'

Aamir Khan can be really controversial when he wants to be. In an interview with CNN's Anjali Rao for the special edition of Talk Asia, the man with the Midas touch lashed out at Shah Rukh Khan, his erstwhile friend and also spoke about Oscar-winning film, Slumdog Millionaire, and how it failed to touch him.

We present excerpts of the interview right here.

Watch the interview play out on Talk Asia on March 25 at 6pm on CNN, with a repeat telecast on March 28 at 10am and 8pm.

It's a real pleasure to have you with us today so thanks so much for making yourself available again. Your most recent film Ghajini is now the biggest Bollywood success ever. Did you have any idea that it would be quite as huge as it is?

You can hope that, you can hope that for all of your films. But you can never really tell until you see the film with the audience, how it's going to play with the audience in the theatre. So I think in Ghajini what we set out to make we were in fact able to achieve that. I realised that I'm making a hardcore mainstream film after really long, which is fine. I guess I'm happy to do that.
