Vir
Das
recently
opened
up
on
the
idea
of
meeting
Aamir
Khan
for
his
upcoming
directorial
debut
film
Happy
Patel:
Khatarnak
Jasoos.
He
shared
how
a
superstar
backs
a
project
when
he
truly
believes
in
one.
Recalling
the
moment,
Vir
revealed
that
Aamir
has
been
placed
on
such
a
high
pedestal
that
approaching
him
felt
slightly
daunting.
Vir
said,
“He
is
on
such
a
high
pedestal
that
you
don’t
really
communicate
much
with
him.
I
hadn’t
spoken
to
Aamir
sir
for
almost
10
years.
Then
I
messaged
him
saying,
‘Aamir
sir,
can
I
call
you?’ He
replied,
‘Yes,
call
now.’
And
when
he
picked
up,
it
felt
like
we
speak
every
week.”
Vir
went
on
to
reveal
how
candidly
he
pitched
his
film
to
Aamir
Khan,
“So
I
told
him,
‘Sir,
I
have
a
film
with
me
and
I
want
you
to
make
it.
If
you
don’t
make
it,
no
one
else
will.’
He
said,
‘Okay,
come
next
week
and
give
me
the
narration.’
I
have
never
seen
a
superstar
who
is
so
accessible
and
gives
you
a
meeting
so
quickly.
I
gave
him
the
narration,
and
after
that
there
were
nine
more
narrations.
His
main
concern
is
always
the
script.
After
nine
narrations,
he
said,
‘Take
some
money
and
shoot
five
scenes.’
I
did
the
test
shoot,
and
then
he
said,
‘Go
on
floors.”
