That Aamir Khan is hailed as one of the most celebrated superstars of the country and is called ‘Mr. Perfectionist’ is known to all. But did you know, that the actor also had his own share of fallout with an equally prolific filmmaker? Yes, we are talking about none other than Mahesh Bhatt . In an earlier interview, the director had spoken about their troubled relationship on the sets of their movie Ghulam (1998).
Mahesh Bhatt spoke about the same in a throwback interview with Wild Films India’s YouTube channel. His infamous words are also present in Roshmila Bhattacharya’s book ‘Matinee Men.’ Bhatt admitted that he and Aamir Khan could not see eye to eye on the sets of Ghulam and ultimately decided to part ways. Vikram Bhatt was roped in to complete the project as director.

Mahesh Bhatt had revealed to the channel, “His style of working was very different. He worked with me on Ghulam. That wasn’t a pleasant experience for me. When a man is burdened by his greatness, that burden is shared by people around him. Economically, that is very difficult, especially if you’re making movies with reasonable budgets.”
The filmmaker furthermore termed Aamir Khan’s penchant for perfection as a ‘disease.’ Mahesh Bhatt had said, “You can strive for excellence, but not perfection. Perfection is an illness. Excellence can be achieved through hard work. Because this isn’t a scientific or legal document that we’re talking about. It’s all about interpretation. And I felt that we weren’t seeing eye-to-eye and that we should not carry on this relationship.”
According to a news report in Indian Express, Mahesh Bhatt had also ranked Aamir Khan last in terms of the acting ability on the show Koffee With Karan. The 3 Idiots actor was placed along with Shah Rukh Khan , Salman Khan , and Ajay Devgn on the list. Not only this but Bhatt had told Anupam Kher that Aamir did not like his performance in Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin.
