Aamir
Khan
wants
more
cinema
halls
to
be
opened
in
the
smaller
cities
and
remote
areas
of
India.
The
Bollywood
star
said
increasing
the
reach
of
movies
will
contribute
a
lot
in
the
growth
of
Indian
film
industry.
Aamir,
who
was
in
the
city
to
promote
his
upcoming
production
"Secret
Superstar",
said,
"Steps
must
be
taken
towards
opening
new
screens
across
the
country,
especially
in
the
remote
areas
and
smaller
cities.
"China
has
about
45,000
screens
whereas
in
India,
we
barely
have
10,000
screens
for
all
languages.
It
is
really
something
that
we
need
to
learn
from
them.
We
need
more
theatres.
I
think
that
will
really
help
the
Indian
film
industry."
The
52-year-old
actor
added
that
due
to
the
lesser
number
of
cinema
halls
in
the
country
filmmakers
often
face
trouble
in
releasing
two
big
films
together.
"It
also
affects
the
box-office
collections.
Theatres
in
small
towns
will
enable
the
public
to
watch
the
movie
at
lesser
and
affordable
ticket
prices."
During
the
event
Aamir,
who
has
produced
films
like
"Lagaan",
"Taare
Zameen
Par" and
"Dangal"
said
his
dream
project
is
"Mahabharata".
"My
big
dream
is
to
make
the
'Mahabharata' but
I'm
afraid
of
starting
the
project
as
I
know
it
will
consume
at
least
15
to
20
years
of
my
life.
My
favourite
character
is
Karna
but
I
don't
know
if
I
will
be
able
to
play
him
due
to
my
physique,
I
may
just
have
to
play
Krishna."
The
actor
said
he
has
already
discussed
the
subject
with
researchers
and
experts.
"I
also
liked
the
character
of
Arjun,
he
was
the
only
person
who
asked
Krishna
as
to
why
should
he
kill
his
own
people."
The
actor
said
that
when
he
decided
to
visit
Vadodara,
he
specially
asked
the
organisers
to
ensure
a
visit
to
a
venue
of
a
Navratri
garba
festival.
Aamir
said
he
was
impressed
with
the
enthusiasm
of
the
people
at
the
festival.
