Aamir Khan copies Sunil Grover to try to look more like himself, comedian says: ‘You have to copy me now’

In fact, Aamir is so impressed with Sunil’s transformation that he even turns to his makeup team for advice, asking, “Iska hair jiss tarah curl ho raha hai? Main thoda curl karoon kya?” (The way his hair is curling, should I curl mine a little too?) To this, Sunil jokingly replies, “So you have to copy me now.” The clip then shows Aamir offering creative inputs to director Advait Chandan, who shot the promo. Advait later asks Aamir to come over and observe Sunil’s performance. Aamir, who is busy playing chess, responds with mock annoyance, “Yaar, mera chess game jayega yaar, kya kar rahe ho tum log?” (My chess game will get ruined, what are you guys doing?)

As Aamir finally watches Sunil perform, he is left spellbound. He notices how Sunil casually places his leg on the chair while sitting, exactly like Aamir does himself, and exclaims, “Very good yaar, ye jo paun upar rakha hai, too good.” (Very good, man. The way you’ve kept your leg up, too good.) Aamir then completely loses control of his laughter when Sunil wipes his tears in the same distinctive way Aamir often does. He even asks Sunil to place a hand on his heart while greeting people, mimicking one of superstar’s most familiar gestures. Towards the end of the clip, Sunil tells Aamir: Your interviews have helped people copy you.” Aamir responds by saying, “He imitates me from real life, not from films.”

Apart from this promo, Sunil’s recent mimicry of Aamir on The Great Indian Kapil Show, an episode featuring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday as guests, also went viral. Sunil’s gag left both stars in splits. Later, in a chat with Bollywood Hungama, Aamir praised Sunil’s talent, saying, “I wouldn’t even call it mimicry. It was so authentic, I felt like I was watching myself. I saw a small clip, and now I’m going to watch the whole episode.” He further added, “What I saw was priceless. I was laughing so much I couldn’t breathe! There was no malice in it at all. I must have laughed the loudest.”
