In a recent interview, Aamir Khan shared his thoughts on a popular action scene from Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Although Aamir hasn’t watched the entire film, he came across the train scene on social media and found it particularly amusing. This moment, where Shah Rukh and Salman team up to fight villains in a high-stakes train sequence, seemed to reflect the two actors’ larger-than-life camaraderie in both Bollywood and the story’s espionage universe.

The scene itself has earned significant attention for its blend of action and humor, highlighting Shah Rukh and Salman as seasoned heroes considering who might take on their legacy in the Indian spy world. In the exchange, the two joke that no one is suitable to succeed them, suggesting they may have to bear the responsibility of the industry themselves. The implicit message of this scene humorously nods to their unique place in Bollywood, hinting that the two actors still reign as industry titans.
Aamir noted that this portrayal might be slightly disconcerting for younger actors. He hinted that while Shah Rukh and Salman’s established star power lets them playfully claim this undisputed status, it might feel a bit challenging for the new generation to see themselves outshone in such a casual yet symbolic scene. However, Aamir seemed to recognize that their humor and charm make it hard for younger actors to feel genuinely upset.
