Sporting his grey hair and beard at an event in Delhi on Monday, Aamir Khan talked about his upcoming production and why he wants to take a break from acting. He said, “When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions. It’s a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it’s a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break, be with my family, with my mom, my kids.”
The Lagaan actor clarified that the work for his upcoming film ‘Champion’ will go as per the schedule. He said, “I’ll be working as a producer, so I’ll be producing Champions. I will be approaching other actors now to do the role that I was hoping to do. Hopefully, that will go well. I’m in that stage in life where I’d like to enjoy my relationships at this point in time. That’s the best way I can put it.”
For those unaware, the movie Champions will be co-produced by Aamir Khan Productions along with Sony Pictures International Productions, India, and 200NotOut Productions.

Prior to this event, a source close to Pinkvilla on Monday had informed, “Aamir and Sony had multiple meetings over the last few months and finally came to a common ground that they would team up on something bigger. He met the Sony bosses even during his trip to the US. While he has stepped back from acting in Champions in the capacity of an actor, he will continue to be associated with the film as a producer.”
