"Ghajini", has said he never thought Shah Rukh was ever on the top
pedestal at all.

He also said Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire" failed to "touch" him.

During an interview, Aamir was asked how he feels about being termed
the new 'King Khan' after the success of "Ghajini". He replied: "I had
absolutely no intention of kicking Shah Rukh off his pedestal. Though
I have to say, I don't think he ever was on it."

Elaborating, Aamir said: "In my opinion, the actor who I really look
up to is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He is someone whose work I really like,
a fantastic actor and the kind of stardom Mr. Bachchan has seen, none
of us can ever hope to see."

The 44-year-old actor, whose latest work, the Hindi remake of Tamil
film "Ghajini", was a success at the box office, says he feels
satisfied with his films
only if they turn out to be as they are intended.

"You can never really tell until you see a film with the audience. How
it is going to play with the audience. For me, what is important is
that when I see the film once it is ready, has it turned out the way
we wanted it to? If we have done that, then that makes me feel happy,"
he said.

Aamir, whose own directorial debut film "Taare Zameen Par", failed to
get nominated in the foreign film category at the 81st Annual Academy
Awards this year, says that "Slumdog Millionaire" failed to "touch"
him.

"I thought the movie was well intended. It was a very sincere attempt,
but it didn't touch me personally, and I suspect it because I'm not
used to watching Indians speak English, all these slum kids talking in
English... it's strange," said Aamir.
