Indian actor Aamir Khan says he is happy to jump genres and experiment with different kinds of stories to surprise his audience

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Bollywood superstar and filmmaker Aamir Khan considered quitting cinema for good after dominating the Indian film industry for more than four decades.

"It was in the middle of Covid and I was... thinking of a lot of things, and I suddenly felt that I had spent all of my adult life in this magical world of cinema," Khan told AFP in London, draped in a heavy purple shawl and sporting a handlebar moustache.
