Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan are often touted as rivals in the film industry. However, the Khan trio has proved time and again that they are much more than just competitors. They share a mutual respect and speak highly of each other. At a recent event, Aamir opened up about his admiration for Salman and Shah Rukh, and shared a list of his favourite films featuring the two stars.

When asked about his favourite performances of the actors, Aamir replied, “My favourite performance of Salman’s is Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dabangg. As for Shah Rukh, I really loved Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is one of my favourite films of his. I haven’t seen his recent films Pathaan and Jawan.”

A while ago, Aamir Khan talked about a possible collaboration with Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. The actor-filmmaker mentioned that he met both of them and expressed that after so many years in the industry, it would be unfair to the audience if they didn’t star in at least one movie together.

He told reporters, “Salman, Shah Rukh, and I would love to work together… We are waiting for the right script to come. I think the audience also wants to see us together, and we have discussed it as well. If any good story comes (our way), we will definitely do it.”

On the work front, Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film also features Genelia Deshmukh and is set to hit the big screen on June 20. Salman Khan will next be seen in an action drama with Sanjay Dutt. He also has Kick 2 in the pipeline.

On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy shooting his next movie King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film reportedly also features his daughter Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, and Deepika Padukone. However, the official cast announcement hasn’t been made yet.
