Meanwhile, in November last year, Aamir Khan announced that he will be taking a break from acting to spend more time with his family. "When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that and nothing else happens in my life. Which is why I decided to take a break. I was supposed to do a film called 'Champions' after 'Laal Singh...' It's a wonderful script, a beautiful story. It's a very heartwarming and lovely film but I feel like I want to take a break. I want to be with my family, with my mom, with my kids," Aamir said.

"I feel like I have been working for 35 years and I feel I have been single-mindedly focused on my work... And I feel it's not fair to the people who are close to me. It's not fair to me also in many ways. This is the time for me... to experience life in a different way," the 57-year-old star said.

"I'm looking forward to the next year, year and a half in which I'm not actually working as an actor for the first time." The actor will, however, continue to be attached to 'Champions' in the capacity of a producer.
