Superstar Aamir Khan says that if he directs a film, he would not act in it.

While discussing about the film being a director’s medium at the launch of the MAMI Film Club here on Monday evening, Aamir said: “As an actor you tend to trust your director, but in my initial days I have worked with directors where our sensibilities didn’t match”.

“So, I suffered throughout the shooting of the film. So, after that I am very careful with the choice of directors that I make… If I would direct a film, I would not act in it,” he added.
