Aamir Khan delivered his first box office flop with Thugs of Hindostan which release in 2018. Starring Aamir, Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif in key roles, TOH was apparently the desi version of Johnny Depp's Pirates of Caribbean. Although Aamir has taken full responsibility for the debacle of the movie, he continues to clarify his stand on the same. During a recent interaction with the media, Aamir once again took "full responsibility" for the failure of Thugs. Thugs of Hindostan: 8 Ridiculous Things in Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif's Pirate Film That Make Little Sense (SPOILER ALERT).

He said, "Audience came to watch the film on my name. So it was my responsibility. To that audience I feel personally and fully responsible." While the film was bashed from all quarters, there was a section which felt the criticism was unfair. Aamir said he's aware there are people who liked the film but wouldn't want to be judgmental towards those who didn't." "I've met a lot of people who told me they liked the film. But I don't judge these things. I think the audience has full right to say exactly what they want and they can be harsh in their criticism, that's their right. If there was a certain amount of harshness, so be it," he said.

"Also, I didn't give a flop film since a long time! So people got an opportunity to take out their anger, which is good too. It's been years since I have had a failure," he quipped. He further added how he doesn't think he needs to "forgive" director Vijay Krishna Acharya as they all set out to make a good film. "Every director that I work with, they are good and their intentions are good. We all aim to make a good film but sometimes it doesn't happen. Film making is difficult. I'm a team player. If my director has gone wrong, I've gone wrong with him," Aamir said in a group interview.

From the looks of it, Aamir seems to continue to bear with the failure of his recent venture. And that's kinda obvious because everyone had high hopes from the film and since it had two biggest stars of Bollywood - Aamir and Amitabh, it was perceived to be a big hit. But like they say, the janta is the one who eventually decided the fate of a film. So Aamir, you should let this be in the past now and move on to making and being a part of better films.

"I don't mind failing with my director on his or her instincts. I don't have a problem. I believe in the director and if he has gone wrong, I have too. We will learn from our mistakes," he added.

In other news, if reports are to be believed, Aamir is next going to set out on an ambitious journey, and yes, we are talking about Mahabharata. The actor has been wanting to make the movie since a very long time and now, looks like he's going to divert all his attention to it.
