Imran talked about his uncle\u2019s filmography, and admitted that some of Aamir\u2019s films from the 90s haven\u2019t aged well.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Filmfare, Imran talked about Aamir\u2019s impact on his career, life, and journey as an actor. But he admitted that there are some Aamir films that he doesn\u2019t like, especially his films from the 90\u2019s era. \u201cYou know, there are some of his 90s films that have not aged well, and when you look at them through a modern lens, they are kind of problematic. There are moments that are quite uncomfortable. Raja Hindustani, which was a staggering hit, is very uncomfortable to watch. You look at it and you go, \u2018This is wrong; we are not supposed to,\u2019 so there are a fair amount of 90s films that are uncomfortable by today\u2019s measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><ev-engagement group-name=\"contentLogin\"\/><ev-engagement group-name=\"myNotification\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ev-meter-content ie-premium-content-block\">\n<p>READ MORE: <a title=\"Aamir Khan jokes that Shah Rukh and Salman plotted to end his career with 'an old, fat man's role' in Dangal: 'Isko buddhe ka role do aur nikalo industry se'\" href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/salman-shah-rukh-ne-bheja-hai-budhha-bana-ke-industry-se-nikalna-chahte-hain-aamir-jokes-about-initially-rejecting-dangal-9907085\/\" class=\"\">Aamir Khan jokes that Shah Rukh and Salman plotted to end his career with \u2018an old, fat man\u2019s role\u2019 in Dangal: \u2018Isko buddhe ka role do aur nikalo industry se\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"osv-ad-class\" style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;height: 375px;margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Raja Hindustani (1996) was directed by Dharmesh Darshan, and apart from Aamir, the cast of the film included Karisma Kapoor, Suresh Oberoi, Johnny Lever, Farida Jalal, Navneet Nishan and Mohnish Behl.<\/p>\n<p>Imran also appreciated Aamir\u2019s help and guidance through his career. \u201cIn my own way, I am tremendously led by him. Through life, whenever I am facing a dilemma, I think, \u2018What would Aamir do?\u2019 I may not exactly approach it in the same way as him; a lot of our methodologies and beliefs are different, but at its core, he has always been driven by integrity and authenticity.
